GeorgiaThe Museum of Design Atlanta, known as MODA, is the only museum in the Southeast devoted exclusively to the study and celebration of design in all its forms, from graphic and industrial design to fashion, architecture, and user experience. It traces its origins to 1989, when it opened as the Atlanta International Museum of Art and Design, a venue exploring world cultures through design. In 2003 the institution sharpened its focus and rebranded as MODA, and in 2011 it relocated to a distinctive building on Peachtree Street in Midtown that had earlier been a parking structure. Rather than maintaining a large permanent collection, the museum mounts changing exhibitions that examine how creativity shapes the objects and spaces of everyday life.
