Ogden Museum of Southern Art

The Ogden Museum of Southern Art is located in New Orleans, Louisiana, within the Central Business District. It is associated with the University of New Orleans.

Its focus is the visual arts and culture of the American South within the context of the region's history and culture.

The Museum is home to the largest and most comprehensive collection of Southern art in the world, and includes the Center for Southern Craft and Design.

Here you will find the story of the South—the old as well as the new, as told through its art, music and education programs. The museum includes Stephen Goldring Hall, which opened in 2003, and two buildings under construction and renovation: the Clementine Hunter Education Wing and the Patrick F. Taylor Library, designed by American 19th-century architect, Henry Hobson Richardson.

Among the many artists represented in the museum’s collection are John Alexander, Walter Anderson, Benny Andrews, Clementine Hunter, William Dunlap, Ida Kohlmeyer, Will Henry Stevens, Kendall Shaw, Hunt Slonem and George Ohr, among others.

The Museum has permanent galleries and changing exhibitions throughout the year.
