This Week at the New Orleans Museum of Art ("NOMA")



JULY 22, 2020

VIEW WHAT'S NEW AND REVISIT FAMILIAR FAVORITES

The New Orleans Museum of Art is now open Wednesday through Sunday from 10 am to 5 pm. The Besthoff Garden may be visited on the same days, beginning at 9:30 am. New guidelines are in place to ensure a safe but enjoyable visit. We request face masks and social distancing. Prepaid, contactless ticketing is also now an option for museum visits. Wednesdays remain free for Louisiana residents courtesy of The Helis Foundation, but as capacity is limited, we encourage you to reserve tickets online.

NOMA recognizes the legitimate issues in front of us and embraces the responsibility to address them.
