We were lucky enough to be here for 'John Paul II, A portrait of faith' and while that was a highlight for us, the museum has a lot more to offer. The collection is better then you'll expect, well worth the cost of admission - actually it's worth more than that but I'm OK with getting a deal occasionally.

I am a HUGE art buff, to the point that most cities I go to the art museum is my absolute favorite part. NoLA is obviously not a major arts destination. While the warehouse district is slowly changing this, it will take decades before people travel to see art there like they do in a lot of other major American... More

Great little half day trip from the busy French Quarter. Add a picnic in the park and you can make it a whole day trip. I left the hotel at 11:00 and arrived in half hour. I took the Canal St streetcar (there's 3 canal st lines. Just make sure it says Musuem/City Park on the top of the car)... More

The museum itself is lovely, a mixture of the old and the new. Currently a temporary exhibit of decorative arts from the World's Fairs. The sculpture garden next to the museum in City Park is a definite MUST SEE !

We arrived in New Orleans on a rainy day so we decided to skip Jazz Fest and went to this museum instead. Overall, a nice collection with a few outstanding pieces. Had a nice lunch before taking the Canal streetcar back to our hotel.

Went to see the Decorative Art from the Worlds Fair exhibit and it was really great lots of Faberge and Tiffany. Also took in the Shadow and Light Exhibit and was really neat. Got hungry so we left before seeing all that we could have so we plan on going back in the near future.

We visited the Pope John Paul II exhibit and it was really something to see. The Sculptures and the Art work was fabulous all of the items were really remarkable.

We didn't have time to go inside, but on a pretty day, the sculpture garden was quite nice. And the price was right...it's free.

We are museum goers and enjoyed this visit in part because it felt so good to be in a civilized place after wandering around on Bourbon Street. It's a beautiful museum. A special exhibition with pieces from world expositions had some memorable pieces. The trolley ride back to town was a bonus to our day.
