SUSAN M. TAYLOR GARDEN DISTRICT MONTINE MCDANIEL FREEMAN DIRECTOR New Orleans Museum of Art

Describe what you love about what you do. I am committed to making art and the museum accessible to as broad an audience as possible. When our visitors discover the wonder of art, it is the ultimate reward. Why in New Orleans? NOMA has one of the greatest collections anywhere and sharing its resources with the New Orleans Community is my passion. A complex city filled with history and visual culture, NOMA is an ideal place to explore both the traditions of the city and contemporary interpretations of those histories. Name something about New Orleans that always puts you in a good mood. Sunsets at the Fly. What advice would you give your twenty-year-old self? Don't be in such a hurry to get where you're going. Enjoy the road along the way.
