High Marble

One of my favorite features of the High Museum of Art is its collection of marble sculptures. Of the 450 posts since launching wanderlust ATLANTA, a former post on "The Veiled Rebekah", a popular marble sculpture and part of the High's permanent collection, has garnered a substantial number of hits, telling me that art enthusiasts are already familiar with the High's impressive collection of marble statues. 

With that, I wanted to share with you a few more of the incredible marble sculptures at the High. But, I'm only showing the bust portion—hopefully enough to entice you to go see the entire sculptures. Each of these are full body sculptures.

There are just a few...the Museum has quite a few more, quite a few. Wander on over to the wanderlust ATLANTA Facebook Page to see more (but even that's not all of them!).
