New Orleans Museum of Art @ NOLA

I visited New Orleans, and the city's excellent Museum of Art, for the first time recently. The eclectic collection at the NOMA - ranging from Degas to Warhol to Meissen Porcelain to African masks - is really worth taking in (even if the museum is not located in the center of the French Quarter! Taking a cab up the gorgeous residential Esplanade Avenue to the City Park where the museum is located is also a real treat.)

As this video (among others) highlights, the museum recently celebrated its centennial:


I LOVE NOLA! & I LOVE NOMA!
