We recommend Ebrik Coffee Room on Level Three for coffee, snacks, and pastries. On-campus options include the Cox Hall food court, Kaldi’s at the Depot, and Highland Bakery at Goizueta Business School. In Emory Village, a short walk from campus, you’ll find Rise and Dine, Saba, Dragon Bowl, Dave’s Cosmic Subs, Falafel King, and Chipotle Mexican Grill. If you don’t mind a short drive, you can also try Emory Point, which offers The General Muir, Marlow’s Tavern, and Aladdin’s Mediterranean Grill among other choices.

To ensure the safety of the artwork, the museum closely monitors environmental conditions. A cool temperature helps preserve the artwork.
Repeated handling of artwork can cause damage such as staining, corrosion, abrasion, surface loss, or breakage.

Yes, sketching with pencil is permitted in the galleries.
In addition to scheduled programming, the museum offers SmARTy Packs, available to borrow from the information desk, that are filled with activities that families can do together in the galleries and fun Family Guides to the collection that kids can take home with them.
