I Ubered over to the the High museum in Atlanta on Tuesday, September 21st. They have a varied collection of art, mostly modern and contemporary. One of the special exhibits was the Coca Cola Bottle which is 100 years old. Since I have heard that things go better with Coke, I started there and roamed over three buildings connected by enclosed bridges and found many items to appreciate:
Here are my photos of what I liked:

"House III," 1997 (fabricated 2002) by Roy Lichtenstein, American, 1923-1997. The large sculpture is located in front of one of he High buildings.
The entrance to "The Coca-Coal Bottle An American Icon At 100" exhibit.
"This exhibition brings together work by renowned artists, designers, and photographers, showcasing the Coca-Cola bottle's outstanding impact on twentieth and twenty-first-century visual culture.
Over 500 3D-printed bottles hang from the ceiling created by the team at Conran and Partners using 3D printing technology to create a deconstructed, ribon-shaped interpretation of the bottle.
In the past Coco-Cola has collaborated with artists and designers to promote their product including N.C. Wyeth andNorman Rockwell. Above are creations of contemporary artists.
