The American Giants Museum is a new, one-of-a-kind experience located on the 1926 alignment of Route 66 (Arch Street) in downtown Atlanta. The American Giants Museum tells the story of the kitschy and quirky “Muffler Man” statues that sprang up in the 1960s as advertising gimmicks across the USA. Today, they are some of the most popular sights for tourists traveling Historic Route 66.
