Millennium Gate Museum in Midtown Atlanta is a triumphal arch and Georgia history museum created as a monument to peaceful accomplishment and a classical landmark within Atlantic Station. Originating in a 2000 design competition and opening on July 4, 2008, the $20 million project was developed by the National Monuments Foundation. At 82 feet tall, it was described as the largest classical monument built in the United States since the Jefferson Memorial. Its sculpture presents allegories of peaceful achievement over two millennia, while the museum’s galleries and period rooms trace Georgia’s history from pre-Columbian Native American and early Spanish eras through colonial, Revolutionary, and modern Atlanta development.
