The New Orleans Museum of Art (NOMA) selected eighty-nine of its finest works of European and American art from the 1600’s-1960’s for a rare traveling exhibit. Spared from the Storm: Masterworks from the New Orleans Museum of Art features drawings, paintings and sculptures that survived the encroaching flood waters of Hurricane Katrina. The exhibit includes renowned works by Francois Boucher, William Adolphe Bouguereau, Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso, Pierre Auguste Renoir, Auguste Rodin and Giambattista Tiepolo. Of particular note are works by Edgar Degas who spent time in New Orleans visiting family. The exhibit has an emphasis on French artists, but there is an international flavor present with American icons Jackson Pollock, John Singer Sargent, Mary Cassatt and Georgia O’Keeffe, as well as Russian Wassily Kandinsky, Spaniard Joan Miro and German Max Ernst.

The Kalamazoo Institute of Arts offers docent tours of this extensive exhibit. Guided tours range from 30-60 minutes depending on student grade level. Tours are limited to no more than 60 students per group. Please schedule your visit with the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts at least three weeks in advance.
