Millennium Gate, Triumphal arch and museum in Atlantic Station, Atlanta, United States

Millennium Gate is an 82-foot triumphal arch of light-colored stone blocks on 17th Street in Atlantic Station, Midtown Atlanta, with a single tall arched opening and a flat, rectangular attic topped by a smaller structure. Two dark sculptural groups, Alexander Stoddart's Peace and Justice Gates, flank the base, and a recessed panel and molding bands cross the facade. A banner reading "Reunification" hangs inside the arch.

The arch opened on July 4, 2008, at a cost of about $20 million, after a 2000 design competition whose ten winning entries were refined by Rodney Mims Cook Jr and Hugh Petter. It was first planned for Washington, DC, but lacked official support there. CollinsCooperCarusi were architects of record, and Alexander Stoddart carved the sculptural allegory.

The museum galleries tell the story of Georgia's founding and early settlement through artifacts and documents on display. Visitors can learn how the region developed from its colonial beginnings.

The arch stands on 17th Street in the Atlantic Station district of Midtown, beside paved roads. Inside, 12,000 square feet of galleries are laid out as a sequence of Savannah double parlors by century, ending at an exedra cloister with a bronze bust of George Washington. Allow time to walk the full enfilade from the pre-Columbian gallery to the 21st Century Interactive Gallery.

The names of the ten winners of the 2000 Millennium Gate Design Competition are carved into the base of the monument, among them Lisa Schmitt Bergman, Anton Glikin of Russia and Luis Pedro Vasquez-Lobos of Guatemala. The arch was first planned for Washington, DC, but lacked official support there and was built in Atlanta instead.
