OU's devotion to art is evident in not only the art it exhibits, but in the space itself, which is a testament to simplistic beauty and warmth.

Have you ever been to the Oglethorpe Museum? A few years ago, Tibetan Monks were on campus at the museum to create sand art, for which they are world famous.
The museum is an Atlanta secret that should NOT be missed!

The OUMA is the most intimate of spaces to view art and its exhibitions are not the canned shows one finds throughout other venues in ATL. In addition, they serve the community with an excellent lecture series and other events that bring the best of culture--and other cultures--to ATL. The OUMA is unfortunately ATL's best kept secret.

As author of "Nicholas & Helena Roerich, The Spiritual Journey of Two Great Artists and Peacemakers" I visited the Oglethorpe as a guest lecturer. The professionalism and care with which the Roerich exhibition was hung took my breath away. Not the smallest detail was missed in making this show a deeply meaningful experience for all viewers. The Oglethorpe is an outstanding Museum and a treasure.

The Oglethorpe museum is impeccably run and always has world class exhibits in a beautiful setting. While many would drive past every day and not think twice about it, they are missing a true modern day Atlanta treasure.

The museum consistently has high quality exhibitions that present art that is not available at other museums. (The 2007 exhibits: Rembrandt etchings, photos of Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo, and Rodin sculpture.) There is no parking problem, the museum itself is small, uncrowded and beautiful, the prices are reasonable, and the staff (frequently the director himself) is welcoming.
