EMORY.   Founded in 1919, the Carlos is Atlanta's oldest art museum. Its permanent collection features awe-inspiring holdings; many prized items, in fact, were discovered by Emory faculty members. Inside a modern interior designed by Michael Graves, you'll find archeological gems from ancient Europe, South America and sub-Saharan Africa. Must-see collections feature Egyptian art and Bronze Age artifacts. The gallery's Greek and Roman art section includes an exceptional portrait of Emperor Tiberius.   (© 10Best)
