I recently purchased Oree and while I have yet to have it hung in the right spot it is probably the best piece of art I have ever owned. I hope to continue collecting more of his prints in the near future. The gallery itself is beautiful. It has its New Orleans charm. I recently took my best friend on a joint birthday trip and took her to the gallery. It stirred a lot of emotion in her and she throughly enjoyed finally getting to see what I've been gushing about all these years. It's just a wonderful place to stop in and see something uniquely Louisiana by a phenomenal photographer.

There are some haunting pieces in his work, and one of my favorites is that of a cemetery and another is of a lone moss tree in the middle of a deserted bayou. When lit correctly, these photos take on another dimension and certainly tell a captivating story. There is something a bit mysterious about photos such as these, and they are right up my alley. When I was here for Dirty Linen Night, I was greeted by the gallery manager, who was quite friendly despite the crowd. The photos are well priced and could easily be added to any collection and find a spot in any home.

One of my favorite art genres is southern art and folk art, so I wanted to swing by Ogden. They have very little traditional art, for which I am grateful. I like things that are a little quirky or moody or have something to say. They have four floors of exhibits (one floor is offices only). I saw some great art focusing on the Black experience in the south as well as music and jazz. They had a couple wonderful photo exhibitions as well, one focusing on jazz legends and another showing never before seen photos from their collection that, of course, focused on the culture of the south. Was 15 dollars a ticket, which is well worth it. We probably spent about 90 minutes here, though you could spend longer if you wanted to read every single plaque. Some of the plaques were a little wordy, but covered the topics well. Staff was polite and helpful. This is right next to the WWII museum, which is a WONDERFUL museum and the most attended attraction in NOLA. I would say you could swing by Ogden before or after that museum, but that might be a little much given the pure expanse of the WWII venue. As another yelper said, Ogden is not an essential stop when in New Orleans, but I would definitely recommend it at least once to see what southern art is all about. You'd likely be surprised at the diversity and talent on display.

I didn't pay attention when purchasing the ticket, but it includes admission to the Besthoff Sculpture Garden. The indoor museum is two stories, composed of multiple rooms. They have an expansive collection of art from different cultures all over the world, and nearly every single era. There are Mexican Terracottas from 100 BC to an enlarged Incredible Hulk lunchbox on display. Many paintings and large sculpture. I enjoyed walking through the different themed rooms and viewing the collection, including my favorites, Alberto Giacometti, Rene Magritte, Pablo Picasso and Joan Miro. They also have the portrait of Washington that's on the US dollar bill on display. Afterwards, I walked outside to the sculpture garden. There's a man at the entrance who smiled and greeted me as I walked by. I enjoyed walking through the expansive garden as well. Sculptures are strategically integrated into the garden, such as sculptures of people casually sitting on benches or children on the diving board by the lake. It's pleasant and serene. I highly recommend visiting the New Orleans Museum of Art. It's educational for the entire family.

From the moment you walk in, you will be overwhelmed by the great art that is on display. This museum is broken up into various rooms. In each of these rooms you'll find a very specific type of art. Whether it's Classical, Renaissance, or Modern Art, they really offer a lot of the various expressions of art. It's really a visually great place to visit. This is very well designed museum. It's very open and spacious. You never feel like you're overwhelmed by the other people that may be viewing the art inside. This is a multilevel museum. So, be sure to go upstairs, because there you will find another entire collection of art. When I was there most recently, they were exhibiting ancient art from Mesoamerica and beyond. Really a great exhibit. More than just an interior museum, this museum has a vast outdoor sculpture garden. Not only is it really a great place to just walk around, and enjoy the environment. But, you get to view some really exceptional works of art. The statuary are situated in various places around the grounds. Plus, they have some very nice works that are incorporated with their large lake area. Great place to take a walk! Really, enough cannot be said about this art museum. It's really a must visit if you are ever in New Orleans.

His bright red marine scenes are as dramatic from a distance as they are up close. My overall experience at the gallery was great, from the initial explanation of the artist background, to the final negotiation process - all with no pressure.

With art, you never really know if you paid too much (as the initial gallery prices are always so inflated!); however, I am now able to enjoy this art at home, which is priceless.
