The Historic New Orleans Collection and the New Orleans Museum of Art present
New Orleans: A Sense of Place
Holger W. Jenson, The Night Prowler, New Orleans, 1930s, oil on canvas
The exhibition, which spans 150 years of the city’s history, from 1850 to the present, offers vignettes of life in New Orleans and covers over 150 years of the city’s history, from 1850 to the present. Thirty artists are represented by more than 40 oil paintings; these are augmented by decorative arts and books. The exhibition reflects the interrelated facets of life in this culturally rich city. A continued focus on the artistic environment of the Vieux Carré and the city’s expansion from that cultural cradle is the common thread that binds together the works of New Orleans: A Sense of Place. This exhibition is presented as part of the partnership between The Historic New Orleans Collection and the New Orleans Museum of Art, is free to Louisiana residents and is included in the general admission price for all others:
