The “new” buildings for the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, Georgia  are a sight to behold. Clean, sleek design by Architect Renzo Piano flows from gallery to gallery with ease. Moving through the space is a pleasure. The collections that fill the space are a pleasure, too.

I was lucky enough to visit during the special Louvre exhibit, “The Eye of Josephine” and “The Ancient World.” I truly enjoyed the beautiful Egyptian works and ancient sculptures. Since it was a first time visit, I began my journey there but soon discovered other treasures waiting inside.

The High Museum of Art is well known for its extensive folk art collection but they really have a little bit of everything here. Monet, Rodin, Rameriz, Heade and Rowe.

Very diverse works that cover a wide range of mediums. Grazing through the galleries is a full meal taken in small bites. It was satisfying to see works from 1630 and 1930.

Take your time in this wonderful space and drop in at their full service restaurant, Table 1280. A refreshing, renewing experience can be had at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, Georgia for art lovers of all kinds. Don’t miss it. More photos here.
