Alon's At The High

When we went, it wasn’t overly crowded but still a lot of people. I wouldn’t say it’s that small, there were many floors with a lot of pieces. Admission is under $20. Not too bad. Museum was clean and staff was pleasant. It took me a few hours to look at everything. I don’t go too fast in case I miss something.

This is an excellent museum. There are a variety of exhibits featuring all kinds of art. The architecture itself is also stunning and adds to the museum. There is a lot of natural lighting as well which helps. If you live in the area, I suggest getting the annual pass because you can bring guests. There are also discounts for students, seniors and more.

By far the highlight of my recent trip to Atlanta. Wish there was an exhibition of oriental art, but the exhibitions they do have are vast and maintained meticulously. The marble statues are an incredible sight to behold in person and are the results of incredibly talented artists and craftsmen. A great spot to visit even if you aren't super into art, but if you are, make time to spend 2-3 hours here minimum.

So I only saw a small portion of what they have due to chaperoning a bunch of kids for a school trip. What I saw was great. We saw the Paris, Samurai and the food court exhibit(these kids were taking about eating as soon as we got here). It's clean and the staff is really friendly. The Paris portion was cool. I'm not an art enthusiast but it was interesting. Now the Samurai exhibit was amazing. It's worth the price to get in just to see that. I loved it. When my oldest comes back for a visit from college in gonna drag the bum down here.

A great date night on the third Friday of the month when it's also Jazz night. As folks that aren't big art museum folks we loved spending a Friday night catching some of the live music (however it's hard to get a seat unless you arrive early). We enjoyed being able to explore the museum listening to the music and then being able to enjoy a snack & drink afterwards on the outdoor balcony.
