Located in City Park, the New Orleans Museum of Art, or NOMA, hosts an impressive permanent collection of almost 40,000 objects with a concentration in French and American art. NOMA programming is designed to instill art appreciation in kids as well as adults, with an ongoing menu of workshops like Baby Arts Play! that integrates music, movement and art into playtime for 1 and 2-year-olds. Monthly family workshops provide hands-on art-making experiences and on select Saturdays StoryQuest gives kids 2-7 a treasure hunt of clues to explore the museum's collections using words like shoes, dreams and family. Studio Kids gives older children classes art projects as a bridge to diverse cultures.
