1 Collins Diboll Circle, New Orleans, 504-488-2631

If you are planning a trip to New Orleans, adding the New Orleans Museum of Art (NOMA) to your “to do” list is a must. At NOMA, treasured artwork valued at over $200 million is open to the public everyday. The collection of 40,000 objects is sure to impress, ranging from French and American art to photography, African and Japanese works and everything in between. The world-class venue located in City Park also features the five-acre Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden. Get lost in the natural beauty as you wander amongst 200-year-old live oaks, mature pines, magnolias and of course, the 50 unique sculptures situated on the exquisitely landscaped site.

For those visiting New Orleans during this time period, consider including an evening at NOMA. The Avenue Inn Bed and Breakfast is located on the streetcar line which can take you to City Park.  Fare for the trip is $1.25 each way or you may want to purchase day pass for $5.00 for unlimited riding all over the city.
