    There's a secret room behind a fake wall on the 1st floor where you can see the original building exterior from before the expansion. It's also where they keep people who go looking for this room.

    The New Orleans Museum of art includes a magnificent sculpture garden that should not be missed. The Museum is closed on Mondays, but the garden is open seven days a week and is complimentary!

    NOMA resides in the middle of City Park with easy access for an afternoon of fun. Bike, kayak, or scooter around the park, explore the museum, and be sure not to miss the outdoor sculpture garden.

    The Museum of Art is the city’s oldest fine arts institution. It houses over 40,000 objects as part of its permanent collection. Don’t miss the Syndney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden next door.

    Wednesday's entrance fee is waived thanks to a generous gift to the city! Take advantage of their generosity and see Italian masters as well as Warhols and Picassos!
