Newcomb Art Museum

Top choice in New Orleans


Part of Tulane University and flanked by beautiful Tiffany stained-glass triptychs, the Newcomb Art Museum is a great spot to soak up some art, with works from colonial portraiture to engravings by John James Audubon. Just outside is a pretty green, where students sunbathe, toss Frisbees and generally recede into the happiest rhythms of American higher ed.
