Amassed by William and Florence K. Sloane over fifty years, the collection includes more than 2,800 objects, such as Neolithic jade, ancient Chinese bronzes, Indian Chola bronze statues, Spanish religious icons, European ceramics, and American paintings.
The collection is on display throughout the riverside mansion, where master craftsmen like Charles J. Woodsend and Karl von Rydingsvard contributed to the intricate woodwork, making the house itself a stunning complement to the art it holds.
On June 6th, 2025, the Hermitage Museum welcomes New Orleans based artist, Walker Babington for a four-month solo exhibition. Babington’s large-scale, fantastical sculptures combine storytelling, reclaimed materials, and a dream-like aesthetic, and can be seen as modern day folklore – telling cautionary tales relevant to 21st century life.
