A traveling exhibition from the American Folk Art Museum explores the folk art to emerge from societies like the Freemasons and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, including unusual and intriguing pieces like serpent-headed staffs, grave markers, and more. The companion exhibit, A Mystic Brotherhood: Fraternal Orders of New Orleans, features objects and images from THNOC's holdings about how such organizations shaped civic life and culture in New Orleans. hnoc.org.
