New Orleans Museum of Art

The New Orleans Museum of Art inspires lifelong learning with a wide-ranging art collection, thoughtful exhibitions, and innovative programming. Through its initiatives, NOMA serves as a forum for engaging with new ideas and sharing a diversity of perspectives, cultural experiences, and ways of thinking.

The New Orleans Museum of Art holds a global collection of nearly 50,000 works of art and offers a broad array of special exhibitions and educational programming to engage local, national, and international audiences and inspire a love of art at all ages. From special exhibitions that demonstrate the scope of our expansive permanent collection, like "New African Masquerade: Artistic Collaborations and Innovations", on view starting April 4, a presentation on the stories and artistry of four individual contemporary masquerade artists; to dynamic and enriching programming like NOMA at Night, a late-night event series that gives visitors after-hours access to exhibitions, musical performances, and more; to community initiatives like the Creative Assembly, a residency program that provides artists across all disciplines with resources to engage with NOMA's collection; NOMA offers endless opportunities to engage with our city's rich cultural heritage, celebrate our present, and look forward to our future. When you make a gift to the New Orleans Museum of Art on GiveNOLA Day, you make all this -- and more -- possible.
