The Scene – Designed by Richard Meier, the High was named one of the 10 best works of American architecture of the 1980s by the American Institute of Architects. The imposing white structure provides a stark modern contrast to the sky. Architect Renzo Piano's recent expansion doubles the size of the space while maintaining the minimalist look. Galleries are interlocked and easy to navigate, thanks to a spiralling ramp that circles an atrium and branches off to each level of the museum. – – The Collection – The museum houses a growing body of contemporary art, a…

The High is one the best cultural experiences in Atlanta
by Blightie at Citysearch
Being a native Atlantan, it is nice to see such a great
representation of our cultural growth over the years!
The High is an Art Piece in itself and has great
exhibits that my whole family can enjoy!
- Pros: Great exhibits
- Cons: Always a drive

I purchased the student ticket to the museum for 15$, not a bad price but not a good discount either. The ticket person told me that i could see all of the exhibits. I walked through one wing of the museum and on the 3rd floor i was not allowed into a "members only" area. Ok, no big deal. I finished viewing that wing and tried to move on to the next. I wasn't even allowed into the next wing!!! Again members only! What did i pay for? I was so disgusted that i left without even attempting the 3rd wing. There are no signs that i saw stating that certain areas are members only, or signs at the ticket counter stating that whole collections would not be accessible with a regular student ticket. It was embarrassing to walk through a revolving door and be told by a staff member that you aren't allowed in and must go back out immediately. I felt deceived and cheated.
- Pros: nice architecture
- Cons: poor value, deceptive marketing/ticket sales
