What travelers are saying
- Gary K18 contributionsTook an UBER out from French Quarter with fingers crossed. We were pleasantly surprised with the broad range and quality of the pieces of art. Admittedly some were beyond our level of sophistication but still well done and tastefully presented. Two hours we'll spent away from the Bourbon Street madhouse.
Added bonus was a wonderful lunch in the quiet NOLA Art Museum cafeteria.Written January 28, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Nichelle EFernandina Beach, FL5 contributionsThis was the highlight of our trip to New Orleans! My son is a budding jazz musician and he was enthralled by the memorabilia and Mr. Al's presentation. I honestly feel he has managed to house the soul of the city in those walls!Written March 30, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- StephenCrossDublin, Ireland31,614 contributionsThe contemporary arts centre sits in the wearhouse district of New Orleans. It was formed back in 1976 and is a valuable part of the community.

- GBosemanOrange, NJ141 contributionsMy young-ish adult daughter and I take frequent mother-daughter trips and no matter where we try to visit an African American Museum - As small as this museum is it is well worth the visit - on this Sunday afternoon , the receptionist was very informative and resourceful and you learn a lot - my favorite was the garden across the street where you saw the slave house /residences - authentic and moving - even under renovations the garden had appeal that will will be fabulous when completeWritten December 29, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- mule54Logan, UT519 contributionsIf the Newcomb women's college exhibition is up (anywhere), definitely go see it for its stunning craftsman style work, not only pottery but textiles and printing. A love walk through the Tulane campus after a streetcar ride from downtown.Written January 13, 2014This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- culaugh2012Tacoma, WA454 contributionsThis was a real eye opener...real history not what we have been told and read about..Th woman doing the lecturing was full of facts and history and a joy to listen to...You really should make this a stop and look at the articles, artifact and just plain get articulate about Black history in our country...Great Museum of TruthWritten August 13, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Frankee11San Rafael, CA299 contributionsWe went to the Algiers Folk Art "Festival" which was in the back of the museum. There were probably 50 people there, the food was OK, and the music was good, but the "patio" in the back was all in shade so it was pretty chilly. People were selling their folk art and some of it was pretty good but too big for a suitcase. Did buy some earrings. The museum itself is worth a 15-20 minute look; some of the art was quite good. Appreciated that they are supporting local artists.Written November 11, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- McC JSanta Fe, NM1 contributionArlo Gallery closed its doors but has kept the work of some of its artists, specifically two of them; works by McCreery Jordan and T. Jason. We have tried unsuccessfully to retrieve them from Mary Bonney, the owner, but she keeps holding onto them. I will report her to the Better Business Bureau.Written December 27, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
