9 Best Museums in New Orleans

"The Historic New Orleans Collection is set on a handsome campus in the heart of the French Quarter. Some of the 10 buildings on the property date back to the late 18th-century; archaeological digs have uncovered remnants of barracks that date as far back at 1720. Focusing on the history and culture of New Orleans and the surrounding Gulf South, the collection highlights subjects the War of 1812, Tennessee Williams, and jazz. The biggest permanent exhibition is Louisiana History, a wealth of paintings and artifacts spread across 13 galleries." - Paul Oswell
