Mom and I went to the High Museum http://www.high.org to see the Ghiberti's Gates of Paradise, 3 of the panels are at the museum, and they are fantastic. We also took in the deocrative arts at the Kings as Collectors exhibit, part of the items from the Louvre. It had been a while since Mom had been to the museum, so we took a look at the newly re-arranged permanent collection. Once you've studied the 18-19th century American painters you can appreciate the works in the permanent collect, such artists as Henri, William Merritt Chase and countless others. Investigate the early movements by the "Ashcan Group", and those that studied at the Hudson River Academy. We saw Renoir, Gilbert Stuart, Monet, and others.
