Located in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountain range, the Atlanta metropolitan region encompasses 28 counties, stretches languidly across more than 6,000 square miles, and is called home by more than 5 million residents – a population that swells to accommodate some 35 million visitors annually from across the U.S. and around the world.

A tlant a is aPROPERTY OF TWIN LIGHTS PUBLISHERS visionary whose story is written on her skyline. And she is a survivor. Like the phoenix of ancient mythology that is her symbol, Atlanta rose from the ashes of the conflagration that burned the city to the ground and brought the community to its knees during General Sherman’s Civil War March to the Sea. And she rose heroically – ascending to skyscraping heights in her architecture, gleaming modern and postmodern structures housing a heavy concentration of Fortune 1000 and Fortune 500 companies. Atlanta has achieved superlative triumphs in attractions that include the world’s largest PROPERTY OF TWIN LIGHTSaquarium, PUBLISHERS world headquarters for the first all-news television channel in the PROPERTY OF TWIN LIGHTS PUBLISHERS United States, and an entire “world” feting a beverage. She has attained the upper reaches of the cultural stratosphere in gems that include the leading art museum in the southeastern United States, one of the oldest zoos in the country, a garden nurturing the nation’s foremost collection of species orchids, and a public art program whose sculptures enrich streetscapes throughout the city. Once the homeland of Native Americans, Atlanta has risen to history’s chal- lenges from the Civil War to the Civil Rights Movement and emerged an im- portant international city with an excellent quality of life.

  • High Museum of Art
    About the High Museum of Art The High Museum of Art is the leading art museum in the Southeastern United States. Located in Atlanta’s Midtown arts and business district, the High has more than 14,000 works of art in its permanent collection. The Museum has an extensive anthology of 19th- and 20th-century American and decorative art; significant holdings of European paintings; a growing collection of African American art; and burgeoning collections of modern and contemporary art, folk art, photography, and African art. The High is also dedicated to supporting and collecting works by Southern artists, and in 1996 the Museum launched its “Picturing the South” program to commission emerging and established photographers to create new work inspired by the Southern landscape. Established in 1905 as the Atlanta Art Association, the Museum’s first permanent home came in 1926, with the donation by Mrs. Joseph M. High of her family’s residence on Peachtree Street. In 1955, the Museum moved to a new brick structure adjacent to the old High house. After 122 Georgia art patrons died in a plane crash on a Museum-sponsored European tour in 1962, the Atlanta Arts Alliance was founded in their memory, and the Atlanta Memorial Arts Center opened in 1968—constructed around the existing Museum. In 1979, Coca-Cola magnate Robert W. Woodruff offered a $7.5 million challenge grant to build a new facility; Museum officials matched and exceeded the grant, generating a total of $20 million. The High Museum of Art’s building designed by noted architect Richard Meier opened to worldwide acclaim in 1983, and it has received many design awards, including a 1991 citation from the American Institute of Architects as one of the “ten best works of American architecture of the 1980s.” Meier’s 135,000-square-foot facility, now known as the Stent Family Wing, tripled the Museum’s space, enabling the institution to mount more comprehensive displays of its collections.
