Housed in the Paper Tricentennial Building on the Georgia Tech campus in Atlanta, this museum preserves the story of paper and papermaking. Its collection is described as the largest of paper and paper-related objects anywhere, including watermarks, sheets, tools, machines, and manuscripts. Rotating shows explore paper as an art form, while a permanent display explains the science and engineering used to produce paper.
