This stunning building was designed by famed architects Richard Meier and Renzo Piano and is rivaled only by the art inside. Featuring American, European and African art, as well as decorative art and photography, the High Museum boasts a permanent collection of over 18,000 pieces, many of which can be viewed from different levels of the four-story, glass atrium.

The permanent collection and special Exhibitions are both fabulous. Giant Exhibition is worth two visits. Georgia O'Keefe New York painting are amazing to see in person. Full review by Inspiredtravel00

It all depends on how long you take to look at the exhibits. Some areas we zip through and others we stare in wonder and discuss the genius of the piece. I would definitely go early in the day and allow a minimum of 2 hours for a cursory exploration. It is a beautiful and interesting museum, so you can easily spend 3-4 hours enjoying yourself. Have fun! And go back when you can. It is always evolving! : )

Hi! Absolutely! Not only is it an Atlanta "landmark," but it has wonderful exhibits and activities for kids, too. Right now they have the Terminus exhibition by Steinmetz, which depicts scenes of people interacting in airports and other "terminal" areas. The second is a really good one, and it is the Winnie the Pooh classic exhibition in honor of the upcoming "Christopher Robin" movie. Aside from that, the place has other exhibits in the other floors that are the static exhibits that remain housed there. And, if you get the Atlanta attraction package, it lets you go to the Carlos museum, the Puppetry Arts, and I think the Fernbank which is insane. Around the High, there are plenty places to go, as well. What I think is that, if you check the site ahead of time, you may spend there a good 2-3 hours especially if there are summer activities and guests there. Let me know if you have any other questions. I think that, if you like museums, in general, you will really dig this one :)
