# Event Details

- **Event Name**: 2026 New Orleans Antiques Forum: Material Belief
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 07 Aug, 2026 at 09:00 am – Sun, 09 Aug, 2026 at 01:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Stained glass, Kiddush cups, carved wooden pews, devotional candles: These are some of the many sacred items that give body and beauty to belief. For the 2026 New Orleans Antiques Forum, the Historic New Orleans Collection is exploring the intersection of the spiritual and material worlds, a rich landscape of antiques shaped by belief, devotion, and spiritual practice across cultures.

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. 

We hope you will join us for an inspiring weekend of discovery and connection in the heart of the French Quarter!

Registration will open for HNOC members on Tuesday, June 3, 9:30 a.m. (CDT), and to the general public on Tuesday, June 10, 9:30 a.m. (CDT).
