World of Coca-Cola Museum
Las Vegas’ World of Coca-Cola was built
in 1998 on Las Vegas Boulevard South, which
is more popularly known as the Las Vegas
Strip. It is beside the MGM Grand Las Vegas
Hotel and Casino.
The establishment closed down in 2008,
but the Everything Coca-Cola store is still
open.
The original World of Coca-Cola exhibition
is located in Pemberton Place in Atlanta,
Georgia. Pemberton Place is named after the
inventor of Coca Cola, John Pemberton. It is
a permanent display housed in a 20-acre
complex featuring The Coca-Cola Company’s
history. The exhibition opened on May 24,
2007 after it relocated and replaced the
original exhibit in downtown Atlanta.
The original World of Coca-Cola opened in
1990. It was open for seventeen years before
being replaced by the newer exhibit in
Pemberton Place. While it was operating, it
was Atlanta’s most visited and most famous
indoor attraction.
The museum was housed in a 3-storey
building. Its entrance was marked by a
massive neon Coca-Cola sign measuring 30
feet in height and 26 feet in width. The top
floor was where the tour would start and
visitors would be led downwards through
about a thousand Coca-Cola artifacts. The
museum has interactive exhibits that include
video presentations of Coca-Cola
advertisements, a replica of a 1930s soda
fountain, and a 10-minute film entitled,
“Every Day of Your Life”, which is about how
Coke has become a well-established brand
across the globe. |
