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 like "Robert Gordy: Outside the Mainstream", the first in-depth retrospective on beloved New Orleans artist Robert Gordy in 50 years; 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 educational initiatives like Art Thrives, a series of wide-ranging workshops designed for art-lovers 55 and better; 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.
