High Museum of Art, Art museum in Midtown, Atlanta, United States.
The High Museum of Art contains more than 18,000 works spanning American, European, African, and contemporary art across 312,000 square feet of exhibition space.
Founded in 1905 as the Atlanta Art Association, the museum received its current name after the High family donated their Peachtree Street residence in 1926.
The museum maintains extensive collections of photography, including significant documentation of the American Civil Rights Movement and regional photography of the American South.
The museum opens Tuesday through Sunday, offers free admission every second Sunday, and stands directly across from the Arts Center MARTA station.
