3 Best Day Trips from Atlanta

"This free attraction is the official state museum of Georgia, housing more than 10,000 individual pieces. It originally opened in 1948 in the University of Georgia’s library basement and has since moved to the mammoth Visual Arts Complex on the south campus. The state-funded museum has a vast permanent collection of American paintings (most from the 19th and 20th centuries), Italian Renaissance paintings, Asian art, and Southern decorative arts. Additionally, it hosts up to 25 temporary exhibits every year, some of which include works by students." - Jennifer Bradley Franklin
