Tips from the community

Explore the Historic New Orleans Collection: While you’re gallery hopping on Royal Street, check out the art and history museum the Historic New Orleans Collection. The Museum is completely free of charge and features six different exhibitions across two buildings. The historic galleries house portraits and artifacts depicting life in New Orleans during colonial times while the other exhibitions tend to be more modern. I recently visited and admired the “Making Mardi Gras” exhibit and their gallery dedicated to life in the French Quarter. I have also seen them feature famous photographers and nature exhibitions.

Small but really interesting museum of the history of New Orleans. Located right across Bourbon St!
