Henry Moore at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens

Two of my favorite things are going to be together at the Atlanta Botanical Garden this summer:  art and flowers.  The touring exhibit, Moore in America, features some of the English artist's best pieces amid the lovely settings of the ABG.  An even better plan? Visit the exhibit during the regular Thursday evening Cocktails in the Garden to see the massive sculptures lit dramatically. Time Magazine rated this one of the top 10 museum exhibits in the country, so if you're in the Atlanta area (or end up with a long layover in the world's busiest airport) it's well worth a visit!

Moore's aptly named Oval with Points.


















Moore's sculptures can be quite large, and it took some real effort to get them installed.  Hard to believe this is a traveling exhibit.  











An example of incorporating the plants with the sculptures - nicely done.
