The museum has free admission, and was about a 1.6 mile walk from our breakfast spot at Le's Baguette and Banh Mi Cafe, We very much enjoyed looking at the houses along the way and also took a short side excursion through Valence Cemetery. Once we got into Loyola's campus, on our way to Tulane, Google directions got a little wonky(or maybe it was our interpretation). Fortunately, we didn't veer too far off course, and there were plenty of students around had that been the case. In the entryway of the museum were examples of Newcomb pottery and Newcomb influenced designs. My friend was a lot more knowledgeable about that than me.
We hadn't read up on the current museum exhibit which happened to be on incarcerated women in Louisiana. This was first of all, very sobering and secondly, extremely informative. The exhibit includes audio from some of the inmates, as well as written text, pictures and some of their artwork. It certainly made me realize that not everything is as it might seem on the surface. This exhibit runs through July 6, 2019.
The Carroll Gallery, which houses student work, is open Monday-Friday 9am-4pm during the Fall and Spring semesters, so that will be for another visit.
