Atlanta's Historic Coca-Cola Museum Demolished for Parking Lot

The original World of Coca-Cola building, once a major tourist attraction, is being replaced due to construction needs near the Georgia Capitol.

The museum, which opened in 1990, was Atlanta's most visited indoor attraction until it closed in 2007.
Georgia state government purchased the building in 2005 and decided to demolish it to create new parking space.
The demolition is part of a larger project to build a new legislative office building and renovate the Georgia Capitol.
The newer World of Coca-Cola museum, located in Centennial Olympic Park, continues to attract visitors.
Demolition costs are estimated at $1.3 million, with completion expected by August 1.
