Amazing. There's really no words - it's done incredibly well , but the subject matter takes your breath away. If you can pick between this and the Coke world, come here!!

Tiffany Williams

Very nice, informative exhibits !! Take your time going through and take it all in, each exhibit is inspirational and empowering . Definitely have a seat at the sit-in counter for the sit-in simulation.

A must visit for locals and tourists . You need at least 2 hours to explore it. 3 floors of America's history and footprint to change our future story.

The exhibits are wonderful in this museum . Take your time to read all of the history. The sit-in counter experience is a must. Don't forget to head downstairs to see the MLK artifacts .

Awesome experience. I brought my 77-year-old dad and enjoyed watching him reminisce for a few hours. We were both grateful for the complimentary wheelchair!

Probably the highlight of my stay in Atlanta. The exhibition was thorough, incredibly touching and informative. Everybody stepping in Atlanta should come to this museum .

A truly moving and brilliantly produced museum packed with things to learn (& remember) but in an interactive and artful way that brings history to life quite powerfully. Recommend for ages 7+.

Learn about the birth of the civil rights movement as well as global civil rights. Take the Woolworth lunch counter demo. Not to be missed. May be intense for children.

This three-level hands-on museum offers visitors a multisensory immersion into both the U.S. civil rights movement and global human rights efforts. Each exhibit is a force of its own. Read more
