NOMA

[Dr. Phibes]

I was very happy to see the link in another thread about the Audubon Zoo and the Aquarium of the Americas. It was nice to hear that they are okay, but has anyone heard about the New Orleans Museum of Art? I have not forgotten about all the other horrible things that have occured in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama and I would gladly trade the lives lost for a building full of art, but, since I can't do that, it would be nice to hear that the museum survived. Anyone have information?

I heard a bit on the radio the other day that the NOMA was on high ground, and unharmed, and at the time of the account was secure. Some staffers had stayed on throughout the storm and afterward, and at the time of the report there was some confusion about whether they would be allowed to stay or forced to evacuate. I hope that was worked out satisfactorily.
