The Museum of Design Atlanta, also known as MODA, sits at 1315 Peachtree Street NE in Atlanta, Georgia. It is the only museum in the Southeast devoted exclusively to design, and it approaches the subject in all its forms rather than focusing on a single discipline.
What you will see
The museum's exhibitions cover four broad areas:
- Graphic design, including printed and visual communication
- Fashion, looking at clothing as a designed object
- Architecture, the built environment and how it is shaped
- Product design, the everyday objects we use and how they were made
Because the exhibitions move across these fields, a visit suits people who are professionally involved in design as well as those who are simply curious about how things look and work. Exhibition topics change over time, so it is worth checking what is on before you go.
Planning a visit
MODA is in the Midtown area of Atlanta, on Peachtree Street, which places it within reach of the city's other cultural institutions and its restaurants and shops. To confirm opening times, admission details and current exhibitions, you can call the museum at +1-404-979-6455 before setting out.
A trip here makes a good half-day or an afternoon, pairing well with a walk along Peachtree Street or a meal in the surrounding neighbourhood.
