The High Museum of Art is one of the most significant museums in the southeastern United States.

It holds more than 15,000 works in a collection with seven different foci: American art, decorative art and design, modern and contemporary art, folk and self-taught art, African art, European art, and photography.

The High Museum has works by luminaries such as Monet, Bellini, Pissarro, and John Singer Sargent, and supports and collects artwork by self-taught Southern artists.

Outside the building is a large bronze sculpture by Auguste Rodin, a gift from the French government after 102 Atlanta art patrons on a museum-run trip died in a plane crash in Orly airport in 1962.

The museum has a gift shop and many educational opportunities, including toddler art programs, art talks, and Friday jazz concerts.
