Atlanta, GA

So have you ever wanted to get in your pjs and look at art in a museum? Well, get in your jammies and head over the High Museum of Art this Friday, November 23, 2007. Once a year, the museum hosts an all nighter event. Well – actually, the event will stop at 2am…and I think the parties don’t really stop till 6 in the mornin.

From 9am – 2am, there are scheduled programs happening. More child geared events in the earlier part of the day and adult event when the kids doze off. View “Louvre Atlanta,” and “Inspiring Impressionism.” Activities include live music, art making activities, dance lessons, a special movie marathon, and more. Wearing pajamas will get you a discount at the museum shop and entered to win prizes throughout the day and night. FULL SCHEDULE BELOW
