This week on Inside the Arts, a once-in-a-lifetime exhibit is in final days at the New Orleans Museum of Art. The Orléans Collection, honors the city's tricentennial. It features masterpieces from around the world that were once within the private collection of Phillippe II, the Duke of Orléans, our city's namesake. WWNO's Eileen Fleming takes us on tour with Vanessa Schmid, NOMA's senior research curator for European Art.

Then, the NOLA Project Theatre Company continues its world premiere of Stockholm Syndrome. It's an immersive musical comedy that is part hostage crisis and a love story. Director A.J. Allegra and actress Kristin Shoffner join us.

And, the New Orleans Ballet Association celebrates the big 5-Oh, with An Evening of Stars. We talk with NOBA executive director Jenny Hamilton.

Airs Tuesdays at 1:00 p.m., Wednesdays at 8:30 p.m., and Thursdays at 8:45 a.m.
