To celebrate Museum Month, the Historic New Orleans Collection launched free 20-minute talks that are led by expert guides, offering in-depth insights into compelling topics.
Two of the talks guide visitors through “A Vanishing Bounty,” the newest permanent exhibition made possible by the generous support of Entergy. This timely exhibition examines the region’s natural environment and the critical threats to its continued existence, taking on heightened significance as the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina approaches.
The interactive displays and artifacts – including 1955 flood maps and oyster shell recycling bags – help visitors understand the past, present and future of coastal Louisiana.
