in Atlanta, GA 30322about Michael C. Carlos Museum of Emory University:
What's more fascinating for kids than dinosaurs? Maybe the Egypt collection at the Carlos, which rivals exhibits at much bigger museums when it comes to sheer mummy mania.
The collection covers the full spectrum of Egyptian civilization, from the earliest Predynastic times to the period of Roman domination. At the core of the collection are the artifacts acquired by Emory professor William Shelton, who traveled to Egypt in 1920 with the American Scientific Mission.
With three mummies (on view), nine coffins, and a variety of other artifacts to examine and ponder, it's easy to while away an entire afternoon.
The permanent collection also includes the Works on Paper gallery, where you can examine illuminated works from the middle ages, African art, and works from Asia and the near East in exhibits that rotate three or four times a year.
Don't miss the excellent gift shop, where you'll find great books for kids you won't find anywhere else, and plenty of other cool items.
Camp Carlos is offered for kids ages 7 to 17 in one and two-week sessions covering topics including ceramics, metal working, Indian culture, and photography.
Closed Monday and University holidays.

For the first time in the Southeast more than 100 masterworks will bring to light the intricate, transcendental, and evocative manifestations and functions of the ?perfect circle? or mandala used as an aid in meditation and as a tool to obtain enlightenment. The exhibition and accompanying educational programs will celebrate the rich religious and artistic tradition of Tibetan Buddhism and the spiritual significance of the mandala.
