JULY 7, 2020

OUR COMMITMENT

NOMA recognizes the legitimate issues in front of us and embraces the responsibility to address them. Read our agenda for change.


JOIN US AS WE REOPEN THE GALLERIES ON WEDNESDAY, JULY 8

The New Orleans Museum of Art will reopen at 10 am this Wednesday. Days of operation will be Wednesday through Sunday, 10 am to 5 pm. New safety protocals are in place, and visitors are required to wear safety masks while inside, but the experience of enjoying our collection will remain largely unchanged. Prepaid, contactless ticketing is also now an option. Wednesdays remain free for Louisiana residents courtesy of The Helis Foundation, but as capacity is limited, we encourage you to reserve tickets online.
