The New Orleans Museum of Art (NOMA) is a regional fine arts institution located in New Orleans, Louisiana. Founded in 1911 as the city’s oldest such museum, it maintains a substantial permanent collection of about 40,000 objects with notable strengths in French and American art, photography, glass, and African and Japanese works. The museum also features the Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden, a five-acre outdoor installation with more than 60 sculptures set amid lagoons, old live oaks, and other landscape elements. NOMA serves a broad audience seeking access to diverse artworks and educational experiences within a museum setting that combines indoor collections with outdoor sculpture in a prominent cultural venue. In recent years, the institution has engaged in collaborative programs and exhibitions with local and regional partners, reflecting its role in the South’s arts ecosystem.
