Ogden Museum of Southern Art

Museums across New Orleans share reciprocal free admission in August

New Orleans Museum Month is a collaboration between museums of all sizes across the metro area. It offers museum members the opportunity to visit all participating institutions, free of charge, using their current membership throughout the month of August.

Travel back in time at the New Orleans Pharmacy Museum, get inspired at Contemporary Arts Center, see through a new perspective at the Museum of the Southern Jewish Experience, and so much more. Many museums will also have limited-time exhibitions on display, making this the perfect time for a visit. Not a member of a local museum yet? Join a participating museum today!

Free entrance to participating museums during Museum Month is limited to 2 people per membership, regardless of membership type (including group or family memberships).
