Curatorial
With over 22,000 artifacts, the collections of the Georgia Museum of Agriculture represent the rich, rural heritage of Wiregrass Georgia.
The Curatorial Department is currently in the process of digitizing records for thousands artifacts housed at the Museum and employs multiple student interns from Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College throughout the year to ensure the highest quality of care for artifacts and the creation of new exhibits.
Ford B. Spinks Exhibit Hall
The Ford B. Spinks Exhibit Hall contains dozens of exhibits describing the history of Georgia’s agricultural commodities, unique cultural pieces, and pays respect to the historic inventors and luminaries from eras past and present.
Art Gallery
Since opening in 2010, the Museum Gallery has featured more than 80 unique exhibits from rural Georgia artists and significant collections from around the state. We strive to bring attention to emerging local artists with an emphasis on those passing their artistic abilities on for future generations.
We’re constantly updating our gallery with new collections and artists throughout the year. From musicians to artisans and traditional artists, we bring the South’s best creative minds together to showcase the region’s diverse and thriving artistic community.
Traveling Exhibits
The Cotton Mill Children: Tifton’s Impact on America
This traveling exhibit features the work of 20th century photographer Lewis Hine, who captured the lives of poor and working-class families across the United States – and particularly the unfair and unsafe conditions in which they worked on a daily basis. The Cotton Mill Children specifically highlights a series of photographs of Tifton Cotton Mill workers while searching for information on the work of Lewis Hine. The mobile exhibit features the story of the Young Family, an overview on child labor, and the Tifton Cotton Mill.
