This is a really cool place and is loaded with information. A quick breakdown Good: - free!! - loaded with information on diseases and epide.ics from the recent Ebola outbreak in Western Africa to the AIDS scare of the 90's and even earlier epidemics like Polio and smallpox. - they have a lot of real world items that would have been used in handling outbreaks, helps make these events feel real. (MINOR) Bad: - you're not allowed to take pictures of the outsides of the buildings in the compound and even certain areas inside the museum. This isn't apparent and they don't have signs posted anywhere, when I went to take a picture, I got yelled at by security guards. What's the big deal, they showed it all on The Walking Dead anyway 😂 - the exhibits are really information dense, they're almost daunting to approach because you feel like you're surrounded by walls of text, and they have videos playing in many places with the sound on, (and some areas with headphones). I get easily distracted and wasn't able to read some of the exhibits because of the videos playing around me. - due to security concerns, you must have a state id to enter, so international visitors may not be able to enter., If my rating didn't say it: these negatives are MINOR. I found the museum to be extremely informative and would recommend anyone who can to visit.

Pretty cool place! Be prepared to have your car searched especially if you’re a first time visitor. I wish I had cleaned it but security was thorough and somehow managed to see past the trash and grime in my back seats. Heading into the actual building there is another security check but once in the museum you’ll find all sorts of fascinating facts and relics. I left there informed, paranoid and fascinated all at once. The latest exhibit had the most beautiful displays of diseases I’d ever seen! One might say that it’s irresponsible to make typhoid fever look so darling. I say, those were excellent displays of artistry & creativity.

Very educational and interesting museum with a number of exhibits. The admission on the day we went was free. You will learn about the agency dedicated and tasked with learning and addressing the human condition as it relates to diseases. I learned about the people who go all over the world to work on diseases. The EIS have gone globally to prevent the spread of diseases and to stop the effects of disease of certain populations. The exhibits speak on the PHC evolving into the CDC. Coke Cola played a role. Mosquitos played a role in the CDCs importance in Georgia. A real interesting look into the CDC!

Atlanta is a great place to be if you love art and design, and this is a great museum that might get overlooked for that purpose. Yes, it's about the CDC and various public health crises first and foremost, but it's a got so many rich examples of art, design, and communication in practice for anyone who is interested in these topics. I skipped the hassle of the inspection by taking a Lyft, and that meant I got to spend more time here. It's not a huge museum, but it feels very information dense- there's a lot to see on every level.

It was eh.....thankfully it was free or else it probably wouldn't be worth it. Sparse is an accurate word to describe it. 1st floor has some TV screens and videos, small room off to the side about children and vaccines. A larger area that was all about artwork made during Covid. The floor below was exhibits on the creation of the CDC, diseases and instruments used for disease control. The Covid-19 exhibit was about the size of a postage stamp which was a little underwhelming due to the scope and length of the pandemic.
