“The glenn gallery the glenn gallery, located just inside the entrance of the millennium gate, pays tribute to the amazing history of its atlantic station site. Originally the atlantic station site was the home of atlantic steel, a mill that was started at the turn of the nineteenth century and later grew into one of the region's most powerful companies, employing more than 2,000 workers. Today, the huge blasting ovens are gone and the long dormant steel plant has given way to an innovative, bustling new community, a "city within a city", with thousands of homes, apartments, shops, stores and office buildings. The glenn gallery includes a series of photographic exhibits that introduce visitors to the area's dramatic metamorphosis from thriving steel mill to thriving new town and will showcase the cultural and physical changes that the site has witnessed over the last century. The exhibits will honor all of those associated with the mill from its earliest days, including the ordinary citizens and workers who labored in hot and clamorous foundries to make atlantic steel one of the most innovative and productive mid-century mills in the country. Making reference to the mythological phoenix, a bird that rises triumphantly from the ashes and which has been a part of the city of atlanta's seal since 1887, the gallery will show how a new and vital urban area arose from the ashes of a reclaimed brownfield. 18th century georgia pioneer gallery beginning with pre-columbian native american history and 16th century spanish settlement of the coast, the georgia pioneer gallery focuses on general oglethorpe's creation of the colony of georgia and the enlightenment ideals that were so instrumental in its inception.

They establish hospitals, prisons, schools by the same method." this observation on the pioneering and ever forward-thinking spirit of early georgians and early americans provides the perfect segue to the philanthropy gallery.
