I just recently went to the High Museum in Atlanta GA. They had quite a decent display of 18-20th century art from America and Europe. They also had pieces on loan from the Louvre in many different sections of the museum, most notable was the exhibit of Medieval to Renaissance art that included a sculpture by Donatello along with the journals of Leonardo. The museum was also featuring the findings of the Qin Dynasty Terraccotta Army. They're are hundreds of these solders only a few were brought to Atlanta, they are still amazing to see. There are different faces on quite a few of them making them highly individualized. I had a hard time from the displays to figure out why they had been made, I would have liked to have spent more time watching the documentary they had on them playing, but the museum was getting close to closing time so myself and the friends I was with had to book it through quite a few. For now here is an image of some of the Terracotta Army.
