The Millennium Gate Museum (also known as The Gate) is a triumphal arch and Georgia history museum located in Atlanta, on 17th Street in the Atlantic Station district of Midtown. It was the largest classical monument created in the United States since the Jefferson Memorial in 1943. At 82 feet tall, it also surpassed the 77 foot tall Big Chicken and became the largest roadside attraction in Georgia. The monument celebrates peaceful accomplishment and its supporters see celebrating classicism as celebrating democracy. The design was a collaboration of Rodney Mims Cook Jr and Hugh Petter of ADAM Architecture to refine the 10 winning entries from a design in competition in 2000. It is a project of the National Monuments Foundation.
