THE NEW MILLENNIUM

ATLANTA: This month, a National Monument opens in Atlantic Station. The 73-foot-tall, six-story arch—called The Millennium Gate—sculpturally depicts the founding of the US, the country’s successes and Atlanta’s rise to a top international city. Beneath the arch, a gallery will exhibit works by contemporary classical sculptors.

The newest San Francisco book includes the Exploratorium or Asian Art Museum; in Chicago, soar to the top of the Sears Tower (shown here) or Hancock Building; and Philly has added a once-forbidden tour of the Eastern State Penitentiary.
