Gallery T North
Gallery T North is comprised of 120 feet of cases located along the north corridor
of the T gates. This exciting exhibition space is the second largest in the Airport
and allows the Art Program to present large-scale rotating shows. Exhibits are changed
annually and scheduled several years in advance.
2010 Exhibition
“From the Collection of Tellus Science Museum”
Thanks to a broad selection from the Tellus Science Museum, the Airport Art Program
presents an exhibit that transports viewers into the fascinating worlds of natural
history, earth sciences and transportation. While waiting for their flight, passengers
can explore some of nature’s greatest treasures as well as some of humanity’s most
artfully created machines. Everything from colorful geodes and minerals that create
everyday products to a selection of vintage motors provides an exploration into science
and wonder.
Located just 30 miles north of Atlanta in Cartersville, Tellus has four main galleries.
The Weinman Mineral Gallery features the best mineral collection in the Southeast with
gems, gold, meteorites, and crystals from Georgia and the world. The Fossil Gallery has
exhibits on dinosaurs, giant reptiles and ice age mammals from the region and beyond.
Science in Motion is a journey through the development of motorized transportation and
includes a replica of the Wright Flyer, vintage cars, a Bell 47 helicopter and a replica
of an Apollo capsule. The Collins Family Big Backyard offers hands-on science activities
for children of all ages.
Other venues include an all-digital Planetarium with a variety of shows running
continuously; Gem Panning and Fossil Dig areas; and the Great Hall, dominated by an
82 foot-long Apatosaurus skeleton. On the museum grounds are exhibits of mining
machinery, boulder-sized mineral and rock specimens, a solar array, an earth station,
and a solar house that competed in the 2007 Solar Decathlon.
“From the Collection of Tellus” is located on the north side of Concourse T in the
Gallery T North display cases. The exhibit is presented by the Airport Art Program
in partnership with the Tellus Science Museum in northwest Georgia. Please visit
