  • Enjoyable experience, but the security felt like it was breathing down our necks a little. I get the need to protect the art however so I understand. All the art here was in the main exhibits floors 1 2 and 3. On LL there is a poster exhibit full of interesting posters, however I didn't get any pictures. The being oval mirror was also a favorite for me and many of the people there. My favorite part is all in the architecture of the building. One complaint there being the noisy flooring. All around well made exhibits and as i said, an enjoyable experience.
  • This is a really cool museum located in Midtown in Atlanta Georgia. The pictures are from a particular show which was the light show. However they always have different exhibits running so it’s worth checking out. It is so large and such a wide open space that you don’t feel claustrophobic walking around. Also they have fun nights on Friday night I believe where they play jazz and there’s a bar and you can drink and walk around. Overall this is a great place to walk around and catch some art. Also it brings you into Midtown which is a great part of town and there’s lots of places to eat around there. There’s also the botanical gardens around there which is super cool. Highly recommend.
  • I love the High Museum of Art. My favorite time to go is on the first Friday of every month for High Frequency Fridays. They have a live band and a bar. It’s definitely a place to take a date or have a cute sophisticated night with friends. Staff is always polite and even on its busiest nights, the wait to get in is never long. Also, the membership is totally worth it! You won’t regret buying it, even if you are new to the art scene like me.
  • Nice place to visit in Atlanta. Very close to Art Center Station. The entrance is free on the Second Sunday of every month. There is beautiful artwork and the museum is spacious. There is museum staff at the lobby with a board "ask me" to guide you if you have any problem. This is a place you should visit at least once. It is a nice experience.
  • Honestly the best membership I’ve ever bought! They have so many events for babies, children & adults! So thankful to have such an amazing museum to go to with so many different exhibits, tours & events. Usually go during the week but the weekends are not that busy most times. It’s always fun to go here & then walk across to colony square for lunch. 10/10 recommend & employees are always kind & helpful.
