The Newcomb Art Museum of Tulane University is a dynamic academic museum that builds on the legacy of H. Sophie Newcomb Memorial College, the first degree-granting coordinate college for women in the United States. Located in the Woldenberg Art Center on Tulane’s campus, the museum presents innovative exhibitions and public programs that connect art, scholarship, and community. Its mission centers on fostering creative exchange, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and civic dialogue through socially engaged art and design.
The museum preserves and advances research on Tulane’s art collections, which include more than 8,000 works ranging from historic paintings and photography to contemporary art and design. It also holds the world’s largest collection of objects from the renowned Newcomb Pottery enterprise, created between 1895 and 1940.
Through exhibitions, educational initiatives, and community partnerships, the Newcomb Art Museum serves as a gateway between the university and the wider New Orleans region while honoring the artistic contributions of women and promoting dialogue around the social issues of our time.
