Join us in the galleries each Wednesday for weekly talks with artists, curators, and other special guests. During these casual conversations, we’ll take a close look at different works currently on view at NOMA.

This week, Mel Buchanan, NOMA’s RosaMary Curator of Decorative Arts and Design, speaks about works in the exhibition Atomic Number Thirteen: Aluminum in 20th-Century Design.

Free with museum admission. Louisiana residents receive free admission to NOMA on Wednesdays courtesy of The Helis Foundation. When you arrive at NOMA, check in at the front desk for directions to the appropriate gallery.
