Besthoff Sculpture Garden (City Park)

Website Description: The Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden occupies approximately eleven acres in City Park adjacent to the museum. Atypical of most sculpture gardens, this garden is located within a mature existing landscape of pines, magnolias, and live oaks surrounding two lagoons. The garden design creates outdoor viewing spaces within this picturesque landscape. Originally conceived in 2003, the Sculpture Garden doubled in size in 2019 and has grown to include more than 90 sculptures

Our Take: Certainly among the best things to do in New Orleans, the Besthoff Sculpture Gardens offers magnificent pieces, a beautiful landscape, and numerous spots to enjoy them both. Begun in 2003 and expanded in 2017, the Garden includes a work by Maya Lin, creator of the Vietnam Memorial in Washington, DC. The Lin piece is a marble tribute to the Mississippi River and is housed in its own pavillion.
