New Orleans Museum of Art Description

NOMA, as it is called by locals, offers both permanent and visiting exhibits and has a spectacular collection of French and American art, particularly a group of works by Degas, who visited relatives in New Orleans in the 1870s and painted nearby. The Starting Point interactive exhibition is a great way to get kids thinking about where creativity comes from. If nothing else, stop by to see the recently reopened and justifiably famous five-acre Sculpture Garden on your way to or from the Carousel Gardens.

Kid Tips

Babies: Stick to a stroll through the sculpture garden, unless you're an art nut; not much here for little ones.

School-Age Kids: Kids will love the current exhibit, "Katrina through the eyes of children," open through the end of 2007.

Planning Notes

Note the limited hours and days. NOMA is closed Mondays and Tuesdays and doors shut promptly at 4:30 p.m.
It's air-conditioned. A great way to pass a hot afternoon.
