Situated on twelve lush, landscaped acres, the New Orleans Museum of Art's Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden is home to significant neoclassical, modern, and contemporary sculptures, ranging from the 19th to 21st centuries.
Since its inception in 2003, the garden has grown to include 100 sculptures, donated by the Sydney and Walda Besthoff Foundation. One of the most globally renowned sculpture gardens, complete with a sculpture pavilion, an amphitheatre, and an architecturally significant canal link bridge, the Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden is free to the public. Throughout the year, NOMA hosts outdoor programs in the garden including festivals, performances, concerts, tours, and more.
