This was a highlight of our trip. Most of the southern folk art done by African Americans was amazing. The 5th floor in particular is really spectacular.

Very interesting museum and Thurs. night there is live music, to boot! Also a roof garden with alcohol available.
They had both older and contemporary art. A great visiting exhibit of William Hollingsworth along with Eudora Welty photographs and other regional artists.
Small significant space, eye-opening special exhibits include House of Blues ("When you're lost , everything's a sign") and Eudora Welty photographs plus impressive permanent collection of regional art.
A lovely and small musuem with a wide range of local culture and art. I love the paintings of what New Orleans looked like 100 years ago!
Really had no idea of the diversity represented at the Ogden. Won't go into the particulars of the individual artists, but will say my wife and I would highly recommend this well kept secret of a museum. Worth the visit while in NOLA.
From the moment you enter this building you feel valued and welcomed by the wonderful team working with the museum. The displays are diversified in mediums and subject matter. The gift shop had a nice variety of jewelry and other items in every price range.
Easy to get around this mid sized museum near WWII Museum. Eclectic choices included Mardis Gras costumes,B and W photography and contemporary paintings. A group of musicians were tuning up for a regular art walk type of party that night.
The folk art housed in this museum is some of the best in the entire Deep South. There is also a wonderful display of 50-100 modern paintings that are also top notch.
A welcome respite and breath of fresh air from the touristy and craziness of the French Quarter. Great building and exhibits to match.
