Lots of Art to enjoy in New Orleans - Felix


During the time I have been in New Orleans, one of the things I like about their people is the passion for art. You can find a lot of art in each of its streets. Museums, antique shops, costume shops, and many art galleries.

New Orleans Museum of Art NOMA , is a place where you can always relax enjoying good art. They always make good artists exhibitions and events for the public to enjoy. When you have the opportunity to visit, you can see many tourists and people from the city.



 Julia Street is another place that I like a lot because is full of many art galleries. It is amazing the number of works of art that you can find walking by this street. Many tourists visit these art galleries every day .  

The first Saturday of each month these galleries organize an event exhibiting works of different artists, but the one that impressed me the most is the night of white linen. It´s a big celebration where all galleries exhibit their best works of art. It´s a public event where everybody wears white and walk visiting the galleries.
                                    

I also like Royal Street, there is a wide variety of art, not only paintings but also all kinds of antiques, antique furniture, antique jewelry, antique weapons and collectibles. It´s amazing the variety of art that you can find there.



 Now I understand, why New Orleans is a city of choice for tourists from around the world. Art is part of the city´s culture, and it´s a paradise for art-loving people.
