The Woodruff Arts Center brings together three of the city's major arts institutions on one campus: the High Museum of Art, the Alliance Theatre and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra.

The High is the Southeast's leading art museum, known for its bright white architecture and collections that range from American and European art to folk and self-taught artists and photography.

Plan your visit around a matinee at the Alliance or an evening concert by the symphony, and you can make a full day of it without moving the car.

Just up the road, the Atlanta Botanical Garden and Piedmont Park offer a breath of green between galleries.

The Arts Center MARTA station sits right beside the campus, making it one of the easiest culture trips in the city.
