The Historic New Orleans Collection’s 2026 New Orleans Antiques Forum, themed Material Belief: Objects of Faith, Spirit, and Tradition, returns Aug. 7-9 for a weekend of discovery into the many items that give body and beauty to belief in New Orleans and across the Gulf South. Antiques Forum sessions will cover a range of sacred items, including Catholic statuary, Judaica, prayer samplers, Afro-Caribbean ritual objects and more. Attendees will learn how these objects were made, used and kept—and how they continue to function as powerful material expressions of belief throughout the American Gulf South.
The forum has been designed to allow guests to explore the French Quarter, indulge in the city’s famed cuisine on their own, and experience legendary antiques shopping and museums. Forum attendees enjoy free admission to participating house museums in the French Quarter.
Young participants (ages 21–30) and museum professionals enjoy half-price registration.
9/7 from 9am-2pm; 9/8 from 9am-5:15pm; 9/9 from 9am-12:30pm
