About

Story

The Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden at the New Orleans Museum of Art occupies approximately five acres in City Park adjacent to the museum. Atypical of most sculpture gardens, this garden is located within a mature existing landscape of pines, magnolias and live oaks. The garden design creates outdoor viewing spaces within this picturesque landscape. A reconfigured lagoon bisects the site and creates two distinct halves: a mature pine and magnolia grove adjacent to the museum, and a more open area of 200-year-old, Spanish moss-laden live oaks across the lagoon near the New Orleans Botanical Gardens. The Sculpture Garden has grown from its inception in 2003 to include 64 sculptures, most of them donated to NOMA by the Sydney and Walda Besthoff Foundation.

This is a lovely art muesum in New Orleans. Three floors with a great variety of exhibits. When we were there they had a special exhibit called Queens. Very interesting exhibit about women, personality types, and clothing. Unique perspective and well done. We also loved the Gilded Lily exhibit on the second floor.

We had a wonderful morning here and could've spent much more time looking around. There was a wide variety of collections, so I would say there is something for everyone. We spent most of our time in the Woman's Archetype Exhibit, which was a real treat. That alone was worth the money, even though I know it won't be there forever. They do offer discounts for students and military! Clean bathrooms!

I love coming here with my little one. Didn’t like the tour guide we got for my daughters field trip both times. Her name is Ms Kim and she has no type of patience’s for the little ones. Very knowledgeable but shouldn’t be working with kids !!! I didn’t let her take away from my experience or my daughters experience. Would have prefer to have someone else as the guide.

They have very beautiful art collections! Evening better was the fact that it is free on Wednesday. They were kind, and also kept the luggage that we had for a few hours so that we could see around. Friendly staff and wonderful time spent at the heart of city park! This is definitely a must-visit area of you are in the area!
