The High Museum, built nearly a decade and a half before the Getty Center, is constructed with a concrete frame and clad in enameled steel. In 1991 the AIA cited the building as one of the “ten best works of American architecture of the 1980s.” Italian architect Renzo Piano has just completed a major and much acclaimed addition (2005) to the High Museum.

a great building but a lousy place to exhibit art,
way too much UV for most 2 dimensional work
