Ogden Museum of Southern Art
Art Museum · New Orleans, Louisiana
The largest collection of Southern art anywhere, built on Roger Ogden's private holdings and opened in the Warehouse District in 2003. It takes the American South as a subject rather than a region to be condescended to — self-taught and outsider work alongside trained painters, photography, craft and contemporary practice, from the nineteenth century to now. It is across the street from the WWII Museum and a fraction of its visitor numbers, and ITS THURSDAY EVENING MUSIC SESSIONS ARE ONE OF THE BEST STANDING EVENTS IN NEW ORLEANS.
925 Camp Street, New Orleans, Louisiana, 70130, United States
