My wife and I visited this museum with local friends and were a little disappointed. The museum was large but didn't have that many pieces in it and was very spread out with long interconnecting walkways to different sections. It wasn't very well organized and not easy to understand the layout. I would not go back to it.

Thoroughly enjoyed the Frida/Diego Exhibit - the audio tape/video was particularly good! A bit pricey, but worth while as all the exhibits are well laid out and really interesting. An afternoon well spent.

I visited the High for the first time last week and it lived up to all of the good things I'd heard about it. A friend and I were there for the Frida Kahlo exhibition, which was closing that day. Though there were large crowds; good logistics and plentiful staffing made moving through the many rooms of the exhibit hassle-free.... More

My friend and I made a special trip from Charlotte, N.C. to see the last day of the Frida and Diego exhibit. The exhibit was a trip through the artistic careers of these two fabulous Mexican artists. It was large and well produced. After we viewed the show we took some time to see the rest of the museum which... More

Wonderful exhibit of the works of Diego Rivera. Also, there was a excellent peek at the, in some ways, troubling art and the painful existence of Frida. What a story. The High Museum always has the best of the best.

I love culture. I love history. I love politics. At the same time, I become easily bored when I attend an event that is overkill. The High gives you just enough to learn, and stay interested. The price is a bit high (no pun) for what is presented, but that aside, the exhibits are worth visiting. Now, I don't like... More

Art was vital and vibrant.. full of color and life. Totally reflected their time and their personal relationship. Very popular exhibit and well displayed. Frieda's work was a surprise to me, very reflective and thought provoking. Hurry.. it is the last weekend.

Atlanta's High Museum offers a world class experience. They have fixed and rotating exhibits with varying themes in a wonderful facility. On the 3rd Friday of most months they stay open late and feature live jazz in the atrium. This is a great museum for visitors and Atlanta locals alike.
