New Orleans African American Museum — Attraction in New Orleans

So I came to New Orleans for a quick solo trip and usually with each city I travel to I visit a local museum especially if they have an African American museum. While nice, I left wishing there was more to see. 1. I'm from the DMV area where so many great museums are free. This entrance fee for out of town guests was a little high for the size of the museum. 2. The main exhibit focused on the aftermath of Katrina which yes was moving but also lacking in the art that could have been possible for such an important and tragic moment in our history. I also expected other art exhibiting the rich African American history in NOLA. There is an interesting exhibit with two immersive rooms using music, spoken word, and seemingly AI images. It was certainly futuristic in its presentation but admittedly disheartening in what appears to rely heavily on AI imagery. All in all I'm happy I went and supported this museum. I hope in the future it can continue to be a part of the Treme community and re- establish a richer art history. So in that sense I was happy to pay that fee in hope for the future...

You could still walk the grounds. I felt very connected somehow to the land/ earth that I was walking on, knowing that it is a part of my history, I grounded my feet in the grass for a deeper connection with this who passed and fought for me and my freedoms. Thank you to whoever thought to begin the museum, and I wish them ALL the funding they need to see their...

New Orleans has such a rich culture and history, that’s why this place is so disappointing. There is very little to see, and the content is organized in such a way that it’s hard to correlate information to images and follow the historical sequence.

The content could also use fresh editing. When I asked the person who worked there about one photo, she had no clue who the woman was. The employee was also dressed in crop top, gym attire. Where’s the professionalism?

If they’re going to charge $20, the museum must offer more than what is currently available. If they are going to charge any admission fee, they must do more. The museum is simply...
