History lover? Art aficionado? Food fanatic? You’re in for a treat! HISTORY BUFF Rich in history as a city more than 300 years old, New Orleans offers a glimpse into its past at the New Orleans African American Museum, Backstreet Cultural Museum, Le Musée de f.p.c., Museum of the Southern Jewish Experience, Lower Ninth Ward Living Museum, and the award-winning National WWII Museum. ART AFICIONADOS From the Ogden Museum of Southern Art and the McKenna Museum of African American Art to the New Orleans Museum of Art and the adjoining Besthoff Sculpture Garden, there is no shortage of exhibits to browse here. Another option is StudioBE, a 35,000-square-foot warehouse focused on Black art and collaborations with the local community. FOODIES Love New Orleans food? There’s a museum for that! Browse food products from the South’s past and present at the Southern Food & Beverage Museum (and be sure to check out the calendar for cooking classes, demos, pop-ups, and more) or discover the history behind our most famous cocktail, the Sazerac, at Sazerac House. MUSIC LOVERS The New Orleans Jazz Museum is full of wonderful exhibits on the city’s storied music history. Tremé’s Petit Jazz Museum provides a glimpse into New Orleans musical culture, from brass band second lines to the jazz that pulsates throughout the city. KIDS & FAMILIES The Louisiana Children’s Museum is an interactive, indoor/outdoor oasis for young learners. Mardi Gras World and the Audubon Zoo, Aquarium, and Nature Center are all must-dos for the whole family. EXPERIENTIAL TRAVELERS Want a different type of museum visit?
