The Millennium Gate Museum can accommodate up to 80 students per visit. Student trips may be scheduled Monday through Friday between 9:00am and 4:00pm. Contact the museum at least three weeks prior to your visit.
MUSEUM RULES AND MANNERS
Out of respect for yourself, other visitors, and the art:
- Keep your hands to yourself. Please keep a safe distance from art objects, walls, platforms, and cases. The oils, salts, and acids on our skin can damage works of art.
- Food, drinks, and chewing gum are not allowed in the galleries.
- Leave lunches downstairs in the Student Center and backpacks on the bus. The Museum is not responsible for lost items.
- Be respectful of other visitors in the Museum by using a quiet voice when walking through the galleries.
- Make sure to only use pencils and folders in the galleries. Pens and clipboards can damage works of art.
- Cell phones must be turned off while in the galleries.
- Exposure to camera flashes damages works of art. Photography is permitted without flash in collection galleries; however, photography is not permitted in exhibition galleries.
PRE-VISIT ACTVITIES FOR YOUR CLASS
- Ask students to write down questions they may have and bring them along so they can ask a museum Educator.
- Explore TheGateAtlanta.com website to generate excitement about the trip.
- Suggest some books to familiarize students with World War II and art in general.
- Divide the class into small research groups to develop students’ roles as “specialists” on a certain topic.
