Ogden Museum of Southern Art, Art museum in Warehouse Arts District, New Orleans, United States
The Ogden Museum of Southern Art spans two connected buildings, featuring a five-story glass structure and the historical Patrick F. Taylor Library from 1889.
The museum originated from Roger H. Ogden's collection of 600 artworks, leading to its establishment in 2003 as a center for Southern art preservation.
The permanent collection contains over 4,000 artworks from fifteen Southern states, including works by John Alexander, Walter Anderson, and Clementine Hunter.
The museum welcomes visitors daily from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, offering guided tours, exhibitions, and educational programs throughout the week.

New Orleans displays its heritage through churches, museums, and historic buildings. The city presents cultural influences in architecture, music, and art, from Irish immigrants to African culture.
Louisiana blends old neighborhoods, plantation houses, and diverse natural landscapes. The French Quarter of New Orleans keeps its 18th-century Spanish colonial architecture, with wrought-iron balconies and lively streets where jazz and the sounds of passersby fill the air. In Baton Rouge, the USS Kidd remembers World War II, while in Lafayette, the Vermilionville Museum celebrates the lives of early Acadian settlers with demonstrations of traditional crafts and cooking. Plantations like Laura or Rosedown open their doors to tell the rich story of the South, with restored outbuildings and gardens where time seems to stand still. Along the Gulf of Mexico, Holly Beach attracts families who come to swim, fish, or collect shells. Everywhere, Louisiana culture is part of daily life, seen in festivals like Mardi Gras with its parades filling the streets, in spicy dishes served in local restaurants, and in the music that accompanies every moment of the day.
