While this isnt the largest museum in the world its still a super cool spot. Featuring a revolving number of exhibitions its in a constant state of change and always worth popping in to see whats up! From 3D printing to Electric Guitar design (REALLY awesome exhibit BTW) Ive seen so much cool stuff there I always leave inspired and then theres the super cool gift shop that features design inspired gifts from makers and books on design. Its might not be as big as The HIgh across the street but this great space packs an inspiring punch.

Thrilled that this was my first experience at an art museum in town. Visitor Services staff is very welcoming, friendly, and informative. As a new transplant and fellow art museum employee, I sincerely appreciate the service here. Exhibit was thought provoking as well! I look forward to visiting again.High art museum could learn a lot from you!! :)

OMG..not just entertaining...but educating as well. Ms.Kluzic...the young lady from Oklahoma and ms.malaysia...left a very good impression on us. I hope I got their names right...but all 4 young ladies on 3/3/20 @1 pm were SO POLITE AND WILLING TO HELP...WISH I KNEW ALL THEIR NAMES!! THANKS GIRLS AND ALOHA!

Small and quality of visit is entirely dependent on the particular exhibit at the time. Due to its small size, certainly can not complete or be compared with noteworthy design museums. Check the website before visiting. $10 admission, $5, both of which are high compared to what you see. Allot 10 to 15 minutes to see everything.

I was absolutely enamored with their current exhibit on guitars and all the staff was so lovely. Definitely worth it, and Id love to come again.

Ive lived in Atlanta for a while but didnt actually explore the museum of design until last week, and it was so worth it. its a $5 entry fee but they have rotating exhibits that are always about something new and interesting! when I visited the espresso history exhibit was on display, and they had quite an extensive collection :)

Beautiful little pearl of architecture show. You will find like 10 different huge programs. Usually ONG building complex in the most diverse climate, necessities and budget. Give it a chance. You will be surprised! Very interesting shop there too. The people is super nice and ready to help you.

It is OK if you happen to be near by, used the metro and maybe during their weekly tour.They dont have a permanent display and only one single exhibit with posters. You will not see what is shown on line, these are from previous exhibits. Last choice compared to other museums i visited in the area such as the Fed museum for instance that is free and It was much better, very educational with nice displays.

Does one exhibit at a time, but very well planned. Great place to spend 30-45 minutes. Offers a lot of fun classes that you can sign up for

An excellent opportunity to experience design as art and all that it entails. Incredibly friendly staff members are often directly involved with installing exhibits so they are always up for a conversation and are more than willing to answer questions! With wonderful outreach programs for both adults and kids, this family friendly museum is an exquisite asset to the downtown Atlanta area and will be for many years to come.

I love coming here for Jazz nights. I am a student member at this museum so all the jazz nights are for free, but in general coming here is like therapy. Id recommend other people to come here and experience everything!

Highly recommend dropping in if youre nearby! Pictures are of the espresso exhibit.

They always have really interesting exhibitions, and their tours are pretty awesome, they give you a lot of information thats not on the exhibitions themselves.

Definitely worth a visit. Lots of food for thoughts. I loved to see the 3D printers in action. You should know that they have changing exhibitions, so it might be worth checking out the theme before going there.

Im sorry, but this place just wasnt good. First off, its really small... like a hallway and one room. On top of that, it was overly political. Like every single piece was overtly political. By far the best part was the funky chairs! They were a blast! Luckily it was cheap!

Interesting. The staff is enthusiastic and knowledgeable. But, a very small exhibit space. Although I think this would be difficult, I wish they had invested in a more complete experience.

This was my second visit. MODA does a really nice job of balancing curated activities and exhibits. I felt that the current offering - the design of dissent - was particularly impactful though not at all balanced or put into context. Not that it needed to be but it could have been a nice second layer. It is a great museum to take children to or any adult who is open to letting out their creative side.

Lovely museum with two primary exhibits really and an interesting gift store. Currently there is a tribute to espresso machines that are lovely examples of form and function. Also, there is an interactive work focused upon the stories of all of us. Brilliant. Maybe a bit much to pay if you arent into whatever is currently going on, but if you have kids ask about the membership option for them. Free for kids, and they bring an adult in free. Information was not volunteered--we had to ask.

Really awesome place! I just wish the exhibits were longer. Will definitely come again

Tiny yet powerful. Worth a visit!

Such a disappointing experience. There is no design work in the museum. And guess what when we asked where is the ”design” they told us: ”oh, Museum is a broad term!” false advertising is also a broad term! Very funny that the museum that currently exhibits pieces on human rights and justice is actually a perpetrator of extortion themselves, charging for entrance for works of ”design” that are definitely important but anything but what was advertised!

Great exhibit! Loved seeing all of the guitars and videos.

Visited on a Free Family Sunday and am glad we did as I was underwhelmed by the exhibit. Couched as an engineering and music exhibit, there were only 3 interactive displays that all of the people (mainly kids) crowded around in 3 medium-sized rooms on a single floor. Im not sure if theres a 2nd floor and/or if it has exhibits during a regular viewing day (admission fee).On the bright side, my 8-yr was amazed at the typewriter, but so were all the other kids and there wasnt any time limits imposed on playing with them.If you took away the add-on engineering exhibits, you could probably walk around, read every word on the walls and see the handful of building models in under an hour. All in all, Id say this is really a good place if youre either in the industry or really into design/architecture, and/or if youd like to get a book on the subject.

Incredible exhibit and really cool little spot!

Museum of design...so rare! I loved the biomimicry exhibit!

Such an impressive and empowering exhibit, whatever is on display. It constantly shows how people question and challenge the status quo.

This place is not large, but its free, and its so well done. Each area of the exhibit is interesting and interactive in some way. The people who work there are knowledgeable and courteous and fun to be around. The place is gorgeous, too - check out the bathrooms... seriously. Even the bathrooms reflect the love for design. No parking on site, but street parking is easy to find and is very cheap - just download the ParkMobile app and youll be fine.

Massively disappointing trip to the MODA. Luckily my husband and I are both students and got our tickets at the student rate (which is believe was $4-5 a ticket) and the parking we found nearby was a flat rate of $10. So, the entire trip wasn’t overly pricey, but the museum itself was dissatisfying. The building is large, the museum is tiny. It’s a gift shop, a hallway, and one room. From my understanding they offer classes and small events for the community to come in and create and I think that is awesome. However, if it’s a museum I feel like it should be more than a single room. This is more of a creative center with a gallery room.The exhibit currently is labeled as ‘graphic design,’ but it seemed more politically charged than graphically charged. I love graphic design and was ready to have my mind blown and honestly, it was beyond lack luster. I’ve been to the HIGH on numerous occasions for school trips and just random days of fun and was so confused as to why I’d never known MODA existed. I’ll assume it’s because it’s hard to make a trip out of ten pieces of work.

The Design of Dissent exhibit was powerful and important. Thank you.

I live down the street and go see every exhibit with the kids. Friendly, knowledgeable staff - and consistently great exhibits. If you’re local, get on the newsletter. Always cool stuff going on. If you’re from out of town, don’t go to The High without checking out MoDA

My absolute favorite museum in Atlanta. Its a gem. Revolving exhibits curated beautifully and thought provokingly.

This is my sons second design class and he enjoyed it very much. The instructors are very patient and passionate about teaching the classes. Were looking forward to joining more classes and design camps. The staff was very pleasant and welcoming. Thank you MODA for offering so many opportunities for children to enjoy.

Ignore the haters, this place was so cool! Its a small space, but I spent almost 2 hours there because it was so rich and amazing

A wonderful museum! Though its small, its always packed to the brim with a creative, thoughtful exhibit.

Amazing collection. Changes often, so its fresh almost all the time!

Wonderful community with staff who is dedicated to making design approachable for everyone.

Initially I was expecting a boring experience. It was the complete opposite. Its not huge, but there are many interesting and fun exhibits. Staffs were nice and friendly as well.

Its very artistic and i love the way they have there place set up there bathrooms are very clean and the people at the desk are very friendly and helpful

Love MODA and everything its about. Design for change!

Complete rip off! We went in expecting more that just one small room! We paid $5 for me (student), $10 for my friend (also student but didnt have her ID). $15 USD total...the girl at the front gave us no information about the museum even though the building is huge. I feel very misled. Dont come here, its not worth it.

My family really enjoyed our time at this fascinating small Museum! Its just one floor, with one exhibit. But that exhibit packs a punch! When we were there, the theme was Playful Cities, and took in many different cities initiatives to create spaces for the public to have fun in creative ways. We will definitely return on our next visit to Atlanta! One big plus is that they honored reciprocal membership we have with a museum in our hometown.

Always impressed with their exhibitions. Still wish they had more MODA branded things on sale, but in due time. Definitely worth a visit if youre already at the High.

Thought evoking pieces from the exhibit: Dissent. Clean and welcoming environment

Interesting exhibits and an awesome gift shop!

Enjoyed poster exhibition a lot!

A small nice well laid out one floor museum. The present exhibition is Wire and Wood running until September 2019 which is about guitars. It is informative and interactive with Spotify play list to songs played with each particular guitar type which I find innovative and interesting. It has a $10 admission fee an interesting shop with a range of classic design books, architecture models to birthday cards. You would spend between 30mins to an hour here. Opposite this museum is the Woodruff Arts center containing the High museum of Art

Too liberal and small. Chairs were the best part.

Little museum but definitely worth the visit if you are in midtown. We had an couple hours to kill and there is a $5 student price. The craft and activism exhibit was lovely, and my friend started to teach me to crochet with the provided craft supplies. I plan to return when there is a new exhibit.

Awesome guitar exhibit called Wire and Wood is up now. Great show!

What an amazing place and concept. Our children loved it here and we will return for other exhibits. So glad to have a place like this in Atlanta. The only thing that would have made the experience better was if the facility was larger.

While small, it was a really nice museum. I enjoyed the focus on a single exhibit that rotates regularly. Highly recommend MODA.

Very small, but very well laid out. The current exhibit craftivism is amazing. The pricing is exceptionally reasonable and enticing especially when compared to the other museums in the area. It reflects the size of the museum, and the student discount is a bargain for the quality.

Lots of coffee makers and you get some coffee too. Good thing to check out if youve seen the High like ten times already though the big ole art room never gets old.

Too expensive for one floor. Make sure you research the current exhibit, if not, you may not be happy. The gift store is the coolest part. It had journals and books about graphic design.

Fun museum with lots of hands-on experiences. They also have classes for 3-D printing, which is awesome. It isnt particularly big, but the videos and descriptions and thorough without being boring, and they have plenty of different themes and objects within each theme. They also have knowledgeable staff who will answer any questions you have. Great place for your inner inventor to go wild with imagination! I would not recommend this museum for small children (pre-k and below), but it could be fun for lightly older children.

It doesnt worst the money that I paid. They have one exabition, but I was told about it after I paid. Nothing interesting... Unfortunately...

Interesting work, didnt quite feel like it was as advertised--mostly just images and info on projects in poor and or rural communities. Important work, but not sure about calling it a museum.

Got to visit for free on family day and it was super cool, but it is really small. It has one for and only three exhibits and you can easily see it all in about 15 min, enjoy it all in less than an hour. If paying for a ticket, just be aware of its size.

An underrated treasure in ATL, serving some of the coolest, innovative art experiences.

Great exhibits for electric guitar and most famous guitar players.

Nice quaint museum for Civil engineering and industrial development bluffs! Models, hands on activities, and cool videos are all a part of the experience!

Interesting, well maintained exhibit. A little high level and not in depth enough for my tastes but still well worth it.

I took my Husband and Great Niece. We had a ball watching her expression when she discovered and learned something new. Take everyone you know. Great Quality time well spent.

I had a wonderful experience during the christmas festivities. My son and wife enjoyed the tech activities, and i enjoyed the interactive exhibits.

The museum has a good location. It is located in the city center. Although the museum is not big but worth a visit.

Nice collection of modern artifacts. Helpful museum staff.

Great classes and experience.

Pretty cool place. Single-exhibit museum that has other fun stuff going on — they had a design sprint workshop going on during my visit.

Nice, had fun coloring and making at.

I had a very good experience there...

The exhibits were models and simple. Its too small and minor and not worth the time nor the ticket price

An intimate museum dedicated to highlighting exceptional design.

Clean safe and good books

Learning exercise and experience for all

A little gem in the heart of Midtown. Small but well-curated shows with interesting subjects. A nice add-on to a visit to the High Museum across the street or a wonderful experience all by itself. Frequent speaker events are worth noting.

LOVE Museum of Design Atlanta! Gteat exhibits, great staff and great classes!! My kids love their weekend classes and all of their camps. Such a great way to inspire learning.

Closed due CD 19

Nice museum! Beautiful place!

A complete an absolute fraud! :( I don’t know if it always has been like that, but I paid $10 just to see literally 3 things. It wasn’t even a whole floor of exhibition. The girl that charged us didn’t even explain what we were paying for. I feel like it was a fraud just because of that.

Fantastic, thought provoking exhibits. Educators get admission discounts!!

Great building with a library and museum.

Alot of fun, great free experience on family appreciation day.

Beautiful building and often very interesting expositions happening there. My only issue is that most of the Museum staff are somehow rude and of seems unhappy or angry when clients asked for help.

We saw the exhibit on wearable technology and it was very interesting! The lady at the front counter was extremely helpful and gave us all of the details we needed to enjoy our tour of the exhibit.

I was really excited about visiting this museum and was disappointed at how small and limited the place was. Its only a couple rooms and one of them is a gift shop.

Theres a student discount thats worth going. The exhibits are small and will likely take you about an hour, however they do change frequently.

Our Tour guide, Brigid, was very helpful. The exhibition was very fun! We will be back!

This place was nice.

As I approached I saw four Eames shell chairs in the window and knew I was in the right place. I went in to take a closer look and discovered they were knockoffs. Its simply shameful that this place would call themselves a museum of design and not get authentic Herman Miller Eames chairs. Was this intentional or simply misguided? To participate in the knockoff market cheapens the value that Herman Miller and Charles and Ray Eames added to all of our lives and illustrates the ignorance that most people have about modern design. Im shocked it would happen in this context.

Went to a fun 3D printing class, I was told that my design would only take about 1 month to finish, it has now been over 2 months and my project is still not complete. But I will say that when I call to inquire the staff is very helpful and friendly.

Great for kids!

Very small but good exhibits.

The concept is cute. It focuses on one exhibit at a time in a modern place. The venue used to be a parking deck. However, I left feeling a bit underwhelmed. I get what they were going for by having the exhibit in an intimate environment which allows it to distinguish itself from its counterparts. However, I left there wanting just a tad bit more. Which can be a good and a bad thing. Nevertheless, Ill be back in a month to check out there new exhibit :-)

Great exhibit on guitar design, in progress

My siblings and I did a 3D printing class there. Very well organized, and great intro into what it takes to create a 3D design....I have a new and greater appreciation for 3D Designers :D

Nice museum, but the ticket price is a little much compared to the size of the exhibit

Second sunday Fulton County residents get in for free. So we had a good time looking at all the exibits

Second Sunday of the month is Family Fun Day (free admission for families) but this small but quite interesting design museum is worth a visit on any day. Located right across the street from the High Museum its in the perfect location to make it a day of cultural fun.

Fun staff and (at the time I was there) great exhibits. Would be happy to come again when able.

Awesome every time.
