Ogden Museum of Southern Art
A museum dedicated to Southern American art, from folk art and Newcomb pottery to contemporary photography, located next to the National WWII Museum.
The Ogden Museum is located near Lee Circle in the Warehouse District. It combines a 19th-century building, the former Howard Memorial Library, with a modern new wing, and holds paintings, sculpture, photography, and crafts from 15 Southern states. Newcomb pottery and Southern folk art are especially distinctive. The Thursday evening 'Ogden After Hours' features live music. Combine it with the National WWII Museum and the Contemporary Arts Center for a half-day art tour of the Warehouse District.
