High Museum of Art

In an ill-fated attempt to culture the kids, we took them to the High Museum of Art here in Atlanta-- they weren't too bad, but MAN they can't see two feet in front of them to save their lives! Here are a few shots; I had to take them with my phone since my camera was dead and I'd forgotten to replace the SD card in the camp camera... but they're not too shabby!

The atrium-- one of my favorite views of the museum!

Group one waiting for their docent

Group two learning about the High

Learning about math and art

The Monroe Warhols!

One of my favorite statues-- I love marble!

A horse made of scrap metal-- the kids were FASCINATED!

This docent was fantastic-- he was explaining that this delicate statue was carved out of a huge hunk of marble

Another beautiful statue-- they have an amazing collection!

The girls loved the quilts hanging on the wall, which made me very happy-- my great grandmother was an amazing quilter and it's wonderful that they're learning that it's functional art!
