Looking Back and Looking Forward!
This exhibition and The Historic New Orleans Collection want to start a dialogue with all that makes this city unique: the people, the visitors, the food, the music, the literature, the architecture, the arts, the celebrities, heroes, victims, and villains, the historic past and the recent past all have molded this city like a sculptor molds clay. What a wonderful work of art New Orleans has become.
Sit back and take a look as New Orleans comes into better focus. Of course, to get the entire picture, you must visit The Historic New Orleans Collection at 520 Royal Street in the Quarter.
