This is a wonderful museum of western art. I've been to the Amon Carter in FT Worth, Cowboy Museum in OK City, and the Gilcrease In Tulsa, this is in the same league. If you live close, buy a membership, you'll want to go back. Took the guided tour and then went back through, would love to go back. It... More

Who doesn't love cowboys? Imagine a whole museum dedicated to the West right here in the south... but it all makes sense. Begin with the introductory video and you'll discover the role that Georgia and the south played in Western expansion. The museums subjects just make sense. The Civil War gallery is a marvel, and I always loose family members... More

Who knew that sleepy little Cartersville hosted a world-class museum? A fabulous collection of western art, not to mention the very interesting Presidents Gallery. From Civil War to Modern Art (check out those Warhols!) it is quite the experience! More

My expectations were not high after visiting their website. I attended with my daughter's class on a field trip. This museum is a class act. Their docents were great with the kids and had a well thought out tour plus activities to keep them interested. The art is beautiful and educational and the facility is top notch. Not far off...

yes and a phenomenal one at that. From art work of a century ago to modern paintings and statuary this museum is chock full of delights. And not just "western" art but rooms are devoted to WBtS art as well as a gallery on US presidents. The permanent collection is incredible but if you can hit one of the excellent... More

My husband and I decide to make the trip up to Cartersville. Honestly I did not expect much, however I was greatly surprised by the quality of the exhibits. My husband and sons loved the past President exhibit. I enjoyed the contemporary western art exhibit. Overall the Museum is beautiful with great flow and interesting art. Plan to spend at... More

We were vacationing in Big Canoe, GA, and had nothing to do one day. Someone highly recommended we go to the Booth Western Art Museum. Since we were bored anyways, we went, with moderate expectations. I have to say I am a museum addict and wasn't expecting much but this museum is simply GREAT. Very interesting collection of western art,... More

We visited the Booth Museum for the first time for the Cowboy Festival and it was a great experience. I'm not a huge fan of Western Art myself, but it really was an amazing and diverse museum. The Western Art collection was very thorough and included everything from stunning still-life portraits to sculptures to pop art (even some Andy Warhols!!).... More
