NEW ORLEANS MUSEUM OF ART

THE GEM OF CITY PARK

New Orleans Museum of Art, founded in 1910 by Isaac Delgado, houses nearly 40,000 art objects encompassing 4,000 years of world art. 

The entrance for wheelchair users is on the right hand side (you can see the rails for the ramp on in the above image.)

Elevators provide access to each floor of art on display.

The wheelchair-accessible street cars on the Canal Street Line marked City Park stop at the grand boulevard leading up to NOMA -- it's the last stop on the line.

It's about a 10 minute walk from the street car stop to the museum.

It's also about a 10 minute walk the other direction -- into Bayou St. John -- to visit the large and historic St. Louis #1 Cemetery.

City Park, with 1,300 acres, is the 6th-largest and 7th-most-visited urban public park in the United States. City Park is approximately 50% larger than New York's Central Park.

Works from the permanent collection, along with continuously changing temporary exhibitions, are on view in the museum’s 46 galleries Fridays from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; and Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The adjacent Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden features work by over 60 artists, including several of the 20th century’s master sculptors.
