New Orleans Museum of Art

The New Orleans Museum of Art (NOMA) will conduct a two-year project to digitize 300 three-dimensional objects from its collection of African art created by sub-Saharan tribal peoples. Project activities will include creating a high-resolution digital photograph of each object, cataloging the photographs in the museum's collections management database, and making them publically available on NOMA's website. The collection will be used in NOMA's online teacher network, mobile tours of the museum's galleries, in-classroom teaching posters, and the museum's quarterly print magazine, thus broadening access to and expanding the use of the collection.
