The Michael C. Carlos Museum is the art and antiquities museum of Emory University in Atlanta, and it is the reason many visitors choose to stay in the city's Druid Hills and Emory area. Its galleries are known for ancient Egyptian, Greek and Roman material, alongside collections from the Americas and a programme of temporary exhibitions, so a visit usually takes a good half day. People come for the objects themselves, for a quiet, scholarly setting on the Emory campus and for the fact that the museum sits within a compact, walkable part of the city.
