Welcome to the High Museum of Art Online!

The High is excited to offer this online resource for our visitors. Whether you've visited the Museum recently or this is your first time exploring us online, we invite you to take a closer look and discover all the exciting things that are happening at the High.

On November 12, 2005, a new High for Atlanta opened to the public. Designed by Renzo Piano, our 177,000-square-foot expansion is the centerpiece of an overall upgrade to the Woodruff Arts Center campus. Three new buildings for the High provide new exhibition space as well as enhanced education and programming facilities that more than double the size of the Museum’s landmark building designed by Richard Meier. The expansion transforms the High into a lively, year-round destination for the arts.

In October 2006, momentum continued with the opening of Louvre Atlanta. Our partnership with the Louvre Museum in Paris will bring hundreds of works of art from the Louvre’s collections to Atlanta through 2009. In addition to cultural exchanges and educational programming, nine special exhibitions of art will tell the history of the Louvre through its collections. To learn more about what's currently on view at the High, click here.

In coordination with these exhibitions are many special events and educational programs. From Friday Jazz to Toddler Thursdays to lectures, we have something for everyone here at the High.

Thanks for visiting High.org. Stop by again soon, online or in person.

Best wishes,

Michael Shapiro
