ATLANTA (AP) — Atlanta’s High Museum of Art is inviting people to spend Election Day looking at art.

Tuesday is “Pay as You Wish Day,” when the High lets people name their own price for admission the day. With some schools closed for polling, the High says visiting the museum is a great way to spend the day.

One exhibition on display now keeps with the theme of the day. “Choose Me: Arthur Grace’s Portraits of a Presidential Race” features photos of candidates in the 1988 campaign, including George H. W. Bush, Bob Dole, Jesse Jackson, Al Gore, and Michael Dukakis.

Grace is an award winning news photojournalist and documentary photographer. The installation highlights parts of a project he did for “Newsweek” magazine for which he traveled with the candidates for months.
