Booth Western Art Museum
Overview
Come See America’s Story through contemporary Western art, Civil War art, Native American artifacts,
Presidential portraits and letters, and so much more. Located in historic
downtown Cartersville, the Booth Western Art Museum is the world’s largest
permanent exhibition space for Western art.
Open since 2003 and located just north of Atlanta along I-75, the Booth is the largest museum of its kind in the Southeast and an Affiliate to the Smithsonian Institution. At 120,000 square feet, the Booth is an architectural wonder – designed to resemble a modern pueblo and constructed from Bulgarian limestone. The Booth’s permanent collection of Western art, Presidential portraits and letters, and Civil War art allows visitors to “See America’s Story” – the land, people, struggles, dreams, and legends – in paintings, sculpture, photography and artifacts. Sagebrush Ranch is an award-winning, hands-on experience and interactive children’s gallery.
Some things are better experienced than explained. Come to the Booth and “Explore the West Without Leaving the South!”
