This is a nationally known destination and is popular for locals as well as tourist because it is always welcoming traveling exhibits. I would suggest a full day at the least to explore this historical beauty as it includes 6 buildings, 3 restaurants and everchanging exhibits. Open daily 9-5 this is a must-do on the list for Nola!
