A Walk Through Time in Georgia

Attraction

The largest permanent natural history exhibition in the world, spanning 15 billion years of Earth's history in a single sweeping narrative. The gallery traces the formation of the universe, the emergence of life, and the geological story of Georgia itself, anchored by the Fernbank Giant — the world's largest dinosaurs — in the soaring atrium: a pair of titanosaurs that still hold the record for largest animals ever to walk the Earth.
