Reviews
"As an educator and a life- long learner, the knowledge exceeded my expectations. I recommend NOAM in Treme to all that visit NOLA."
"The main building is closed for renovations, and the building being used does not house a museum. It is an art gallery at best. It does have art from contemporary artists. But to call it a museum means there will be displays of antiquity, which there were none. If you want to see some art, this would be a good place to spend an hour. If you want to see a museum, this is not the place to go. Maybe when they reopen the other building it could change."
"We were lucky enough to be able to hop on a tour with the very interesting and knowledgeable Andrew Wiseman. It was such a treat to have stories shared with us in such an entertaining and informative way. It was also wonderful to meet the archivists and librarians who were there with us. Definitely take your family here, we are all part of this story as it unfolds in some way or another"
"This museum is very modern and nice! The staff was very friendly and inviting! It’s worth seeing but in my option there should be more historical artifacts and displays. They have music, entertainment, vendors and small bar to purchase drinks etc every 3rd Saturday and entrance is free! I just happen to visit on a 3rd Saturday. Not sure of regular entrance fee. It’s in a residential area but very easy to get to. I highly recommended visiting if in New Orleans."
"Today I was finally able to visit the NOAAM. To date most exhibits are being housed at the administrative building while more permanent facilities, across the street, are awaiting restoration or construction. There are two outdoor exhibits that can be viewed on the property across the street. The current space is small but is being used to display very impressive and important works by artists across the diaspora. This museum is definitely worth the visit and the nominal entrance fee. I look forward to the completion of the permanent site."
