At first look at the name, the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, you may not think much making a trip from your New Orleans apartment to this incredible museum, unless you have an affinity for such artists as Jacques Amans, William Henry Buck, Andrew Bucci or Wolf Kahn, southern artists in the permanent collection here. Six permanent collections exist at the "O," a museum which moved to its current location in the warehouse arts district by Roger Ogden in 2003. In a new 47,000 square foot building, with intentions to renovate nearby 19th century architecture, this museum is an impressive project expressing "New New Orleans." So ... what is Southern Art? The answer is found at the Ogden Museum with a full spectrum of works, including paintings, prints, photography, sculpture, glass, wood and craft. The importance of place, the strong sense of family and community, the concept of history and memory that mold identity, and the idea of celebration and the very spirit of the region are the critical themes of Southern art and culture revealed here. Roger Ogden, the founder of the museum, began collecting art with his father at a young age, and has continued for the past 30 years or so. In the 1990s, his collection grew to be recognized as an outstanding collection of Southern art by art collectors and art historians. He then felt that such a collection should belong to not just one individual, so he made a significant donation to the University of New Orleans and it is now located in Stephen Goldring Hall of the museum in New Orleans. At museum opening, the collection consisted of 1200 works by some 400 artists. Living in your New Orleans apartment, you probably realize that this city hosts a broad range of culture, with a real kinship to the southern culture. The mission of the "O" is to broaden the knowledge, understanding and appreciation of the visual arts and culture of the American South through its permanent collections, changing exhibitions, educational programs, publications, research center, and its Goldring-Woldenberg Institute for the Advancement of Southern Art and Culture. The director and staff of the museum collect, conserve, exhibit, study, and interpret the art of the South within the context of the region's history and culture. In addition to the comprehensive permanent collection are traveling exhibitions from across the south. Recent visits have been with photography, welded steel and other sculpture mediums, and portraits, contemporary and landscape paintings. Ogden museum membership, granting the New Orleans apartment-ite unlimited free museum admission and free or discounted lectures, ten percent discount at the museum store, and other perks, is just $50 a year for individuals, and $75 for a couple or families. If you'd like to give it a try and pay admission, the price is $10 for adults and $5 for children. Hours for the museum are 10 am to 5 pm Wednesday through Sunday, and on Thursday the museum is open until 8 pm with live music.
