BARBECUE NATION AT THE ATLANTA HISTORY CENTER
"Barbecue Nation." If there is a cornerstone to "Barbecue Nation," a new food-centric exhibition opening at the Atlanta History Center earlier in May, it is the idea that barbecue is a truly American food. Meat cooked with smoke and fire is indigenous to North America and inextricable from the United States we know today. Across 3,300 feet of exhibition space, "Barbecue Nation" is a diverse celebration of that fact and how it came to be. Through June 16, 2019. $21.50; senior citizens and students age 13 and older, $18; children ages 4-12, $9; free for children under 4. Opening day activities are free with paid general admission. Atlanta History Center, 130 W. Paces Ferry Road, Atlanta. 404-814-4000, atlantahistorycenter.com.
