The Millennium Gate’s mission is to preserve and interpret Georgia history, architecture, culture and philanthropic heritage as well as highlight Georgia’s historical and aesthetic relevance to the United States and to the world.
The Millennium Gate is a classically-styled monumental arch located inside Atlantic Station in Midtown Atlanta, historically called "The Gate City." The Gate is designed in the tradition of classical Roman triumphal arches that have been built around the world over the past 2,500 years. The Gate houses a 12,000 square foot museum that narrates Georgia's and Atlanta's history through interactive technology, film, period rooms, and exhibitions.
Comments from teachers after a recent tour (May 5, 2010):
“I was impressed with the Millennium Gate museum. They have an interactive gallery that the kids loved!"
“History and Technology, that is a great combination. I would include it in our next trip.”
“The tour was excellent and engaging! We had a blast!!!”
Comment from FBCI Board and faculty member Sam Poole after the event hosted by us called "New Urbanism: Rx for Healthy Places" - May 19-22, 2010 - Atlanta, GA:
“That monument was definitely the coolest venue so far. It was like going to the secret Men in Black headquarters in the Lincoln Tunnel ventilation building, only with a great structure and a park setting!"
