Review №1

The museum has free admission, and was about a 1.6 mile walk from our breakfast spot at Les Baguette and Banh Mi Cafe, We very much enjoyed looking at the houses along the way and also took a short side excursion through Valence Cemetery. Once we got into Loyolas campus, on our way to Tulane, Google directions got a little wonky(or maybe it was our interpretation). Fortunately, we didnt veer too far off course, and there were plenty of students around had that been the case. In the entryway of the museum were examples of Newcomb pottery and Newcomb influenced designs. My friend was a lot more knowledgeable about that than me.We hadnt read up on the current museum exhibit which happened to be on incarcerated women in Louisiana. This was first of all, very sobering and secondly, extremely informative. The exhibit includes audio from some of the inmates, as well as written text, pictures and some of their artwork. It certainly made me realize that not everything is as it might seem on the surface. This exhibit runs through July 6, 2019.The Carroll Gallery, which houses student work, is open Monday-Friday 9am-4pm during the Fall and Spring semesters, so that will be for another visit.

Really great place for an art installation. I stopped in for the BMIKE show and the staff was super friendly. It was such a great installation!

Small but wonderful FREE museum! I took a group of 20 for a private tour of their tricentennial exhibit. The tour was easy to arrange, and the staff was friendly and accommodating. Museum Coordinator for Interpretation Tom Friel conducted our tour of the exhibit. He was extremely knowledgeable and his tour was both thought-provoking and entertaining. Highly recommended!
