Getting an Artful Tour of Gretna
If your next tour bus destination is in Gretna and you aren't sure there is anything to see there besides bayous and trees, think again! Among other things this charming town has a large number of art venues.
Ogden Museum of Southern Art located at 925 Camp Street and it houses a huge collection of both local and nationally known artists. Everything from sculpture to fine art is presented in this gallery. Because of the damage caused to the area by Hurricane Katrina, please call ahead and verify the hours of operations as many buildings are operating at reduced hours even a year later. The phone number is (504)539-9600.
Another fine art venue that your tour bus group will enjoy is located at Lemieux Galleries at 332 Julia Street where your bus group can enjoy one of the hottest locales on the "Third Coast" for art. Most pieces are for sale, so if you need an unusual holiday gift for someone special, consider art! Please call (504)522-5988 to inquire about booking your group's tour.
Louisiana Children's Museum located at 420 Julia Street is a great place to take your tour bus group whether or not you have kids along for the ride. This facility is a hands on learning venue and children will be able to run, play and explore with the various exhibits that teach math, science and biology through play.
