Museums & Attractions

  • Atlanta's High Museum of Art is presenting Dali: The Late Work, which brings together a collection of more than 40 paintings, plus film, sculptures and photographs—many never before seen in public. The exhibition considers for the first time the diverse body of work that Dali created in the last 40 years of his career, using his art to visually explore science, psychology and religion—as he often said, painting the subject matter of his time.
