High Museum of Art

It is hard to miss this ultra-modern, white structure that houses Atlanta's finest collections of classic and contemporary art. A towering atrium soars to four interior levels, with the galleries moving from 18th and 19th Century collections near the ground floor to cutting-edge art on the upper levels. The High has increased in size to 312,000 square feet (2972.89 square meters) with three buildings designed by renowned Italian architect Renzo Piano: the Susan and John Wieland Pavilion, the Anne Cox Chambers Wing for galleries, and an office building. The High is a frequent host to some of the world's most important touring collections and has hosted exhibitions featuring artists like Pablo Picasso and Norman Rockwell. With over 18000 works in the permanent collection, the High also displays old prints of Abe Lincoln, General William Tecumseh Sherman and an array of sculptures and photographs.

Museum of Design Atlanta

The Museum of Design Atlanta (MODA) opened its doors in 1989 as the Atlanta International Museum of Art & Design in the city's downtown area. After more than a decade and receiving local grants, it shifted its focus from art to design. MODA is now located in midtown across from the High Museum of Art on Peachtree street. This is the only institution in the Southeast that strives to understand every aspect of everyday design. Some of the exhibitions held here cover subjects such as chairs, architecture, bathrooms, and photography. Regular gallery tours, lectures, and awareness programs for kids are also held at this place. Several international exhibitions featuring cutting-edge plans from all over the world have been hosted here too.
