Site overview

With a dazzling composition of light and geometry, the High Museum of Art is a dramatic background for exhibits. A huge wedged skylight looms above the central areas, channeling directions for galleries and offices. The architect has consistently employeda three-foot square module that is repeated throughout in porcelain enamel, granite, and glass. The museum is part of the Atlanta Memorial Arts Center which includes Symphony Hall, the Alliance Theater, and Atlanta College of Art.
