Wherever I go, I’ve always got a book with me. Whenever I’m at home, a book is always near. That way, I don’t have to think much when the idea that I should maybe spend my free time reading comes into my head. I just grab the book and start reading.

Michael C. Carlos Museum at Emory University
You don’t need to travel the world to find art from ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, Africa, Asia, the Americas and the Near East. Fancy collections are housed here, located on the quadrangle (四方院子)of Emory University’s campus. It’s one of the premier ancient art museums in the Southeast.
Visiting Tip: Download a podcast discussing how to view the collections in unusual ways. Free admission.
Atlanta History Center
Start with native peoples who lived in what is now Georgia. Move into the Civil War era and see where Margaret Mitchell wrote her masterpiece, Gone With the Wind, or learn about Civil Rights hero Dr. Martin Luther King. Here you’ll explore the city’s origins and its accomplishments and tragedies.
Visiting Tip: The restored Atlanta Cyclorama, a painting of the Battle of Atlanta, re-opens in February 2019.
Center for Civil and Human Rights
From the American civil rights movements to what’s happening around the world today, it tells stories and inspires action. Visitors can see Dr. Martin Luther King’s personal papers and other items, while interactive displays help them understand what it was like to be a Freedom Rider. Despite the tragedies, the museum offers hope for a brighter future.
Visiting Tip: Record your own civil rights story. The staff will show them on the center’s walls.

A visit to the museum is child’s play. Kids from 10 months to 8 years old won’t even realize they’re learning while they play in interactive zones. Education is disguised (伪装)as fun in this inviting museum, where children can pop into programs about music and movement, science, and more.

【推荐3】Like most people, I was not sure about using virtual reality (VR) (虚拟现实) for travel. However, driven by the chance to experience places and things I could never visit without time, money, and travel, I visited the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry (MSI) to check out their spacewalk VR Transporter. The visit turned out to be the most unforgettable experience that I’d ever had. After an hour or so, I took off the VR headset (眼罩), feeling as if I had actually been staying in space for months.
As we move through the post-COVID era (后疫情时代), international travel and large events have both been slow to return, so Ceek, an APP for virtual events and experiences, has been developed to allow users to travel through time and space with great joy. Mary Spio, Ceek CEO, explains that the combination of sights and sounds is important. “So our users can listen and see everything at the same time.”
The promise of VR is that it helps us rethink what travel even means. “Traveling can be crossing cultures, crossing memories, and can be done in your mind,” says David Askaryan, CEO of the Museum of Future Experiences. He says MOFE’s VR technology create “an experience where the world around you just completely changes for 70 minutes.”
In the post-COVID era, with our vacation days or travel money running short, virtual reality may be the next best way to visit the destinations that have been lighting up our social timeline, or are on our list. As for me, I’m already planning my next VR trip: an underwater VR experience.
