The New Orleans Museum of Art (NOMA) and its Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden stewards a collection of nearly 50,000 works, with exceptional holdings in African art, photography, decorative arts, and Japanese art, as well as strengths in American and French art, and an expanding collection highlighting contemporary artists.Joining Scala’s popular Director’s Choice series, this collection guide provides NOMA Director Susan M. Taylor’s personal selection of some of her favorite works in the museum collection, balancing significant historical works of art history with the art of our time, allowing NOMA to be as accessible to as broad an audience as possible.
