Overview
Overview
A 40000 sqft expansion, completed in October 2009, doubled the museum’s exhibition space, allowing for even more artwork to be displayed. Now at 120000 sqft, Booth Museum is the second largest art museum in Georgia, and houses the largest permanent exhibition space for Western art in the country, with examples of early Western artists such as George Catlin, Albert Bierstadt, Frederic Remington, and Charles Russell. However, the core of the collection is built around living artists of traditional Western imagery such as Howard Terpning, Ken Riley, and G. Harvey, as well as more contemporary artists like Ed Mell, Thom Ross, Donna Howell-Sickles, and Kim Wiggins. The museum also features an outdoor sculpture garden.
