Name Tags
Students must prepare name tags with their first names in large block letters before they arrive at NOMA. Name tags allow docents to provide students with a more personal experience.

Unexpected Delays
If you are delayed on your scheduled tour day, please notify the Education Department immediately at 504-658-4128. Because of our schedule, any class arriving more than half an hour late will not be able to receive a docent-guided tour. You may, however, escort your students through the Museum on your own as a self-guided group.

Dining Facilities
There are no facilities for eating school lunches in the Museum. Beautiful, historic City Park is a great place for picnic lunches.
