Ogden Museum of Southern Art, Art museum in Warehouse Arts District, New Orleans, United States
The Ogden Museum of Southern Art occupies two connected buildings in the Warehouse Arts District, including a five-story glass structure and a historic building from 1889. The collections feature more than 4,000 artworks from Southern states.
The Ogden Museum of Southern Art was established in 1999 and moved to Stephen Goldring Hall at 925 Camp Street in 2003. Its site pairs a new five-story glass and stone building by Errol Barron and Michael Toups with the Patrick F. Taylor Library, built in 1889 to a design by Henry Hobson Richardson. The founding gift was more than 600 works from the collection of New Orleans businessman Roger H. Ogden.
The collection spans fifteen Southern states and the District of Columbia, with artists such as Clementine Hunter, George Rodrigue and George Ohr. The museum also houses the Goldring-Woldenberg Institute for the Advancement of Southern Art and Culture and the Center for Southern Craft and Design.
Visitors can enter the exhibitions during daytime hours and find guided tours and educational programs throughout the week. The location in the Warehouse Arts District makes it easy to explore alongside neighboring galleries and other venues.
