Family Education at the High

Families

Share the fun as a family.

Get your hands messy and create a cool piece of art. Grab a backpack filled with projects and puzzles and take off for an adventure in one of our galleries. Experience the latest special exhibition with a family audio tour, and then share your impressions over lunch in the family-friendly High Café.

There is an impressive and never-ending line-up of family fun and events every day at the High Museum of Art. From toddlers to teenagers, everyone in the family will enjoy looking at, talking about, and sharing the art experiences together.
