Many museums have existed as elitist spaces since their conception and their future is contingent upon how they shift this paradigm. As these institutions seek to attract a more diverse population of visitors, they must reevaluate how their actual buildings have and continue to perpetuate exclusionary practices. ”NOMA+” is the New Orleans Museum of Art’s community outreach initiative which features a 14-foot high “pop-up museum” unit that is used to more effectively engage New Orleans’ 72 neighborhoods.

Learning Objectives:

• Establish a deeper understanding of strategies to attract more diverse visitors to museums.
• Assess the relevance of museum content, programming, and exhibitions to broader audiences.
• Reevaluate history and exclusionary practices of museums.
