The Ogden Museum of Southern Art is devoted only to the works of Southern artists and is a crown jewel of the New Orleans Warehouse Arts District. Founded in 1999 before opening at its current location in 2003, the museum serves close to 85,000 patrons a year.

The museum holds one of the largest collections of Southern art as it strives to preserve the unique history and culture of the Southern United States. Started with a donation of 600 works of art from philanthropist Roger H. Ogden, the collection touts media such as paintings, sculpture, drawings, prints, watercolours, photographs, and more.

Taylor Library and the Stephen Goldring Hall, a 47,000-square-foot glass and stone building that opened in 2003 and was named for the New Orleans philanthropist.
