The Katrina exhibit is amazing. Plan to spend at least an hour here.
Top-notch presentation of Louisiana & New Orleans history⚜️. Get a discount if you do the other museums .????
This was the site of the Louisiana Purchase transfer ceremonies in 1803 & continued to be used by the city council until the mid 1850s. In 1911 the Cabildo became home to the Louisiana State Museum .
you can hear the jazz in Jackson square while viewing comprehensive exhibits on early Louisiana history through Reconstruction.
Another museum in Jackson Square . Closed on Mondays as are all the museums . Local artists .
A lot of interesting things to look at, especially the 2nd floor with the beautiful costumes
Louisiana Purchase was ratified here - not purchased here. Also, they only have a replica of the desk.
