"The Spanish arches and French-style roof of The Cabildo, a grand old building, bring a touch of regality to Jackson Square. The site of the Louisiana Purchase, the building has its own historical significance. But it's also home to an extensive collection of artifacts that date back to the days of the earliest explorers, including portraits of important figures, and original documents and artifacts covering everything from the Civil War to Native American culture in the region. The most celebrated item is probably Napoleon’s death mask—one of only four in existence." - Paul Oswell
