The High Museum in Atlanta, Georgia was designed by architect Richard Meier. His signature white porcelain enameled steel panels with concrete framing used in other projects are a stark contrast to the lush, green landscape surrounding it. Light plays a huge part in the museum as it pours through the ribbon windows and skylights. Typically museums are careful with they type of light they allow into a museum due to the damage it could do to the works of art that inhabit it. However, in this case, light was a symbol to illuminate the historic and cultural relevance of the works displayed. The dynamic nature of the space is supposed to heighten the experience of observing art.
I have never been to this museum, but definitely plan on visiting the next time I’m in Atlanta.

Has anyone been to this museum? If you live in the Atlanta area, stop by and blog about your experience.
