After all my trips to Atlanta, I finally made it to their Art Museum. It is very nice, housed in an attractive purpose-built building. They also had a nice cafe, where I enjoyed having lunch. Having so recently been to the Milwaukee Museum of Art, which is truly world-class, I had a little trouble adjusting to the High. It was very nice, and I saw things I really liked, and I enjoyed my day.
