New Orleans Museum of Art (NOMA)
The New Orleans Museum of Art was founded in 1910 with a gift to the city from philanthropist Isaac Delgado. NOMA, the city's oldest fine art organization has a permanent collection of more than 35,000 objects valued in excess of $200 million. The collection, noted for its extraordinary strengths in French and American art, photography, glass, African and Japanese works, continues to grow. The Museum recently completed a $23.5 million capital campaign, resulting in the addition of 55,000 square feet of space, which included galleries, expanded education facilities, administrative space, and a new restaurant and shop. The Museum, now with a total area of 130,000 square feet, is one of the city's main attractions.
