The High Museum of Art is a beautiful art museum in downtown Atlanta. The building itself is very beautiful and makes for a good layout for the museum, as you can start at the top and then wander through the galleries, making your way to the lower level where you entered. On the ground level, there are some galleries for kids, so that they can get more of a hands on experience. The High has had many big traveling shows and they also have a good collection of their own art. There's a cafe within the building too, should you need to stop and have a snack or get something to drink. The only drawback to the museum's downtown location is finding a place to park, since there isn't a parking lot specifically for the museum.
