ROSWELL, Ga. – (November 3, 2025) – The Mimms Museum of Technology and Art (Mimms Museum), a nonprofit metro Atlanta attraction that is home to one of the world’s largest collections of digital-era artifacts and rotating art exhibits, today announced the opening of sponsorship and donor opportunities for its highly anticipated exhibit, iNSPIRE: Fifty Years of Innovation from Apple. Making its debut in spring 2026, the interactive exhibit will span more than 20,000 square feet and feature more than 2,000 Apple artifacts, including early prototypes, iconic devices, original Apple-1 computers and more.
“Apple’s impact on our world goes far beyond devices,” said Elaine Pelaia, director of museum operations. “The company has revolutionized the way we work, create, communicate and think – shaping not just the tools we use but the way we engage with information, each other and our own ideas. With iNSPIRE, we have the chance to tell Apple’s story in a way that has never been done before, and we invite the community to be part of something that will spark imagination and innovation for generations to come.”
Mimms Museum is inviting individuals, corporations and philanthropic organizations to help illuminate the future by supporting this landmark exhibit. Contributions will aid in preserving a powerful cultural and technological legacy while funding educational programming designed to inspire future generations. Sponsorship opportunities offer lasting recognition and the chance to play a vital role in shaping a nationally significant, first-of-its-kind experience. Support levels are available from $1,000 to $25,000+.
In addition to hands-on displays of early computers and devices, the new exhibit will feature immersive, creative installations inspired by Apple’s most memorable campaigns and spotlight the visionaries who helped shape the brand’s legacy. Rare collector’s items, unique documents and behind-the-scenes stories of Apple’s groundbreaking products will also be on display.
