The New Orleans Museum of Art houses an impressive permanent collection of more than 35,000 objects. The collection, noted for its extraordinary strengths in French and American art , photography, glass, and African and Japanese works, continues to grow.
The five-acre Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden at NOMA is one of the most important sculpture installations in the United States, with over 60 sculptures situated on a beautifully landscaped site amongst meandering footpaths, reflecting lagoons, Spanish moss-laden 200-year-old live oaks, mature pines, magnolias, camellias, and pedestrian bridges.
NOMA’s Museum Shop is a wonderful place to find inspiring and educational gifts. Visitors will find items related to our exhibitions, but also artsy finds for any palate. From art books to umbrellas, there’s something in the Museum Shop for every age, every taste. Each month the Museum Shop features a local artist of the month. All works by local artists are tax free thanks to the Louisiana Cultural Districts program. NOMA Members enjoy discounts and special sales through-out the year. museumshop@noma.org 504-658-4116
The recently expanded Cafe NOMA by Ralph Brennan is a fresh interpretation of mid-century modern. Cafe NOMA’s atmosphere is calm and cool, striking and chic, bright and energetic and fresh and simple are the key ingredients to the menu. Ralph and Susan Brennan are long-time supporters of NOMA and the New Orleans arts community. Brennan put his head together with NOMA Director, Susan M. Taylor, Chef Montero of cafe b and designer Brian Bockman to conceptualize a menu and a look that would please every palate. Sit, sip or read on our turquoise sofa that looks out over City Park. Watch ducks waddle by while flipping through art magazines on Cafe NOMA’s perky grass-green upholstered bench.
The mission of the New Orleans Museum of Art is to inspire the love of art; to collect, preserve, exhibit and present excellence in the visual arts; to educate, challenge and engage a diverse public.
The institution now known as the New Orleans Museum of art began in 1910 when local businessman Isaac Delgado offered $150,000 to the City Park Commission for the purpose of creating a ?temple of art for rich and poor alike.? One hundred years later, Delgado?s temple has become the premier art museum in the Gulf South and ranks in the top 100 art museums nationally.
