I very much enjoyed this little gem of a museum in the new Orleans Arts District. It is 5 floors, 3 of which have art exhibits plus the terrace.

It is a fairly new and very modern building in the Lee Circle area, a several block walk from Canal Street on the edges of the warehouse district. It is kind of a personal museum, with exhibits often telling you about an artist's life in the South as... more

While the outsider art display was small I enjoyed it very much. Nice place to visit and the staff was very curtious. more
