GeorgiaTellus Science Museum is a 120,000-square-foot natural history and science museum in White, Georgia, near Cartersville in Bartow County. It grew out of the Weinman Mineral Museum, founded in 1983 to showcase the mineral-rich geology of the region; that institution closed in 2007 and reopened in its greatly expanded form as Tellus in 2009. The museum is organized around four main galleries—the Weinman Mineral Gallery, the Fossil Gallery, Science in Motion, and the hands-on My Big Backyard—and features a 120-seat digital planetarium and an observatory equipped with a 20-inch telescope. As a Smithsonian-affiliated institution, Tellus draws visitors from across northwest Georgia with dinosaur skeletons, minerals, gems, and interactive exhibits on transportation and technology.
