The country's largest collection of Southern art, tucked next to the busier WWII Museum in the Warehouse District — most visitors walk right past it. 📍 925 Camp St, New Orleans, LA 70130, USA · ⭐ 4.7 (1229 reviews)
Dedicated entirely to art from the American South, this museum in the Arts District holds the largest collection of Southern art in the country, spanning folk art, photography, and contemporary work that rarely gets attention outside the region. It sits a short walk from the much larger, much busier National WWII Museum, and most visitors headed there simply walk past without realizing what's next door. The building itself, a striking modern structure, is worth a look on its own, and regular evening events pair live music with gallery access for a livelier, more social way to experience the collection than a typical museum visit. If you want a genuinely under-the-radar cultural stop in the Warehouse District that most New Orleans itineraries skip entirely, this is it.
