Georgia Capitol Museum

Overview

The Georgia Capitol Museum traces its origins to 1889, when the Georgia General Assembly revived the office of state geologist and directed him “to collect, analyze, and classify specimens of minerals, plants and soils.” The following year, the governor designated the fourth-floor corridors of the Capitol as temporary quarters for the museum.
