Newcomb Art Gallery, Art museum in New Orleans, US

Newcomb Art Museum occupies a 3,600-square-foot gallery added in 1996 within Tulane University's Woldenberg Art Center. It holds the world's largest collection of Newcomb Pottery and crafts made at Newcomb College between 1895 and 1940, plus Tiffany stained-glass windows installed in the Woodward Way breezeway.

H. Sophie Newcomb Memorial College was founded in 1886 by Josephine Louise Newcomb in memory of her daughter. In 1996 the Newcomb Art Gallery opened in a 3,600-square-foot addition to the art department. It became the Newcomb Art Museum in July 2015 to mark its status as a collections-holding institution.

The museum's name comes from H. Sophie Newcomb Memorial College, founded in 1886, whose design program produced the pottery and crafts now in its collection. It regularly shows work by women artists, and in 2003 it commissioned Carrie Mae Weems's "Louisiana Project". Programs include lectures, film series, public tours and studio demonstrations.

The museum is located on the Tulane University campus and is accessible through the campus entrance. Exhibitions rotate regularly, so it is worth checking in advance what works are currently on display.

The museum holds the world's largest collection of Newcomb arts and crafts made at Newcomb College between 1895 and 1940, including pottery, embroidery, bound books and metalwork. Pieces by Sadie Irvine, Harriet Coulter Joor and Marie de Hoa LeBlanc are among the holdings.
