High Museum of Art
Museums / Galleries, Midtown
Fodor's Review:
This museum's permanent collection includes 19th- and 20-century American works, including many by African-American artists. It also displays contemporary art. The building itself is a work of art; the American Institute of Architects listed the sleek structure, designed by Richard Meier, among the 10 best works of American architecture of the 1980s. An expansion designed by Renzo Piano opened in 2005. At this writing, a three-year partnership with the Louvre Museum in Paris was scheduled to begin in late 2006, making available hundreds of works from the Parisian museum's collection. On the third Friday of every month, the museum is open until 10 PM.

A Respectable Art Museum in the US
Posted by A_MN from Minneapolis on 6/18/07
This art museum is not a bad find for the US market. It currently has a fabulous exhibit of the French King's artwork on loan from the Louvre. The museum is large, but not overbearing and can be viewed in a few hours. The only complaints I have is that parking is hard to find and expensive and the admission price is kind of steep ($12).
