A wonderful place to spend a warm summer afternoon. I was fortunate enough to be in Atlanta while Monet's Water Lilies and The Louvre and the Masterpiece exhibits were in place. Both exhibits were excellent and the museum's permanent collection was very enjoyable as well. I had lunch in the cafe there also, it was a most pleasant experience. The museum is located across the street from the Arts Center Marta station.

We went to see the Terracotta Warriors of the First Emperor exhibit this weekend. Although we had pre-purchased our tickets, we had to wait in four separate lines to enter the exhibit. One line outside the museum, one line in the museum to get a lapel sticker, one line to get audio equipment, and one line for the exhibit itself. I have never seen ...
very impressive,well maintained museum.i found it interesting and unique. the museum provides audio guide for some of the exhibits, a gr8 feature again.
As an Atlanta native, I want to support art in Atlanta, but the museum is small and lacking. It does get some great exhibits.
Tickets are pricier than far better museums in other cities, and large areas of the museum are often closed to viewing. You will pay to see one exhibit, not the entire museum. When a good exhibit opens, people are ...
Compared to NY the collection is small but we enjoyed it very much. The building is lovely and we got to see art work that we have never seen before. Easy to get to, right across from the Marta train stop. We recomend it.

The HIgh now rivals the Museum of Modern Art.

The architectural space is marvelous and the collection is diverse. The campus is quite huge. Parking was expensive but safe as it is all underground now and easy to access.
The collection has something for everyone. I love the Louvre partnership idea. This museum has a lot to enjoy so spend the day.
I visited the museum a week ago but felt very detached. Museum staff were extremely rude and offered no assistance. The exhibits were very intriguing. A guided tour may have made my experience more enjoyable. I guess you get what you pay for.

The High Experience

Wide open space and friendly atmosphere. Attendants were very welcoming. I visited during the spring time. The weather was amazing and the sun's rays against the building practically made the structure glow.

This museum is surperb. The building itself is masterful and the architecture is eye popping. This loft like structure is filled beautifully, placed vaces, crystals, and modern art. The new exspansion is must see and the lourve exhibit is one of the best i have ever seen. The building has a gorgeous and sleek courtyard with the towering Atlanta ...
I am not a huge art fan however, my girlfriend is, hence the reason we went to the High Museum. First and foremost let me say the staff was very friendly and willing to help with directions to exhibits, not like some museums where you feel like they're watching over your shoulder waiting for you to do something wrong. The ticket price was very ...
