"Touring the Georgia Capitol and Museum A visit to the Georgia Capitol allows guests to see the role of the government firsthand. It's free to go on a self-guided tour of the grounds and capitol and if the House and Senate are in session, you can watch from the gallery, too. The museum on the fourth floor features exhibits on Georgia wildlife and natural resources as well as artifacts from the history of the capitol itself. When you get outside, admire the Dahlonega gilded dome."

Tour was kind of basic and very short. Museum is ok but kind of bare bones, but gives a brief overview on Georgia history. I did enjoy however, getting to actually go in Governor Kemp’s office and seeing where the high ranking politicians in Georgia work. I’m a bit surprised this is allowed post January 6th but grateful for the opportunity nonetheless. For a free tour it’s worth the trip.

The Georgia Capitol Museum is similar to other Capitol museums, but still worth a visit. The building itself is impressive and quiet, with hardly anyone around. We enjoyed walking through, taking photos, and exploring the historic space.

Great experience, a true palace of democracy, sad that in the modern day the public servants there, do not follow the principles of it. Instead degrading into corruption, immature and disgusting philosophies that bring shame to this great nation! When did the young generation stop learning from their ancestors? Building on their knowledge instead of completely disregarding it. Even though technologically they might have been less advanced in philosophy and leadership they have far eclipsed any of today.

Very interesting museum. The dioramas of the different regions of Georgia were really cool, as well as the agriculture exhibit. Will have to go through security to get in and the entrance is off MLK Jr. Dr. The guards were helpful and pointed me to the right direction. Overall, super cool to learn about Atlanta and Georgia overall.

It is one of the most beautiful buildings in Atlanta. Visited with family and friends during our recent visit to Atlanta. Immaculately maintained building, as well as the surrounding park.
It was a wonderful experience to go through the museum,ñ with an insight into the history of Georgia. Some portions were closed due to renovation. Added attraction was visiting the Senate and House Galleries, which are open for public on specific days and time.
There is no entree fee.
A must visit.

Very well maintained gov building. Clean and friendly place for family visit at no cost. Parking is expensive $13/3hours or you can park somewhere on the street where allows. There is a small museum/collection on 4th floor about GA and local nature. This building also has a very nice front yard

Lots of artifacts and Georgia history in the building and architecture, as well as various displays throughout. An interesting experience, you’re welcome to sit quietly and watch the state legislators at work. Security was quick and efficient, and once you’re inside you self guide around the whole building.

Not the best Capitol Building I have visited. I think the exterior is quiet boring. Otherwise, the colors are beautiful and the museum on the fourth floor is also great. I had the opportunity to enter the representative chamber but the senate one was locked. The appropriation chamber was also open
