Images of The Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden Opened by the New Orleans Museum of Art
in November 2003 this five acre garden adjacent to the museum in City
Park was designed to display a permanent collection of sculptures by
twentieth and twenty-first century European, American, Latin
American,Israeli and Japanese artsts. The sculptures are installed in a
beautiful site amongst meandering footpaths and pedestrian bridges,
reflecting lagoons, Spanish moss laden live oak trees, mature pines and
magnolias and camellias. The beloved Sydney and Walda Besthoff
Sculpture Garden has reopened to the eager citizens of New Orleans. The
public is once again able to relax and walk along the meandering
footpaths in the Garden, which is home to fifty-three sculptures. Well
worth a drive on a lazy afternoon.
