City Park

City Park is a 1300 acre public park located north of Mid-City.


You can get there from the French Quarter by taking the Canal Street streetcar or rent a Blue Bike.

The thunderstorm the day before left ponds all over the park.


The New Orleans Museum of Art is located in City Park.


Right next door is the Sculpture Garden, a free outdoor exhibit with 64 sculptures, some by pretty famous artists.


Henry Moore's "Reclining Mother & Child"


Renoir's "Venus Victorius"


Do-Ho Suh's "Karma." This was one of my favorites. It's a tower of sitting figures.


This was an untitled sculpture by Anish Kapoor. It's a metal basin with a central opening.


Claes Oldenburg & Coosje van Bruggen's "Corridor Pin, Blue."


Another of my favorites was "Overflow" by Jaume Plensa. His "Together" is a large hand that hangs in the Church of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice. 


George Rodrigue's "We Stand Together." This takes his Blue Dog series and juxtaposes it with a red and a yellow dog.


"Spider" by Louise Bourgeois.


"Love" by Robert Indiana
