The New Orleans Jazz Museum - New Orleans Mint and its collection

The New Orleans Jazz Museum - New Orleans Mint
Source

The building that houses the New Orleans Mint has served various purposes over the years. It has been an Analysis Office, a warehouse for the United States Coast Guard, and even a nuclear shelter. Since 1981, it has been part of the Louisiana State Museum, adding another layer of historical significance to its existence.

Museum Exhibits and Future Plans

In April 2015, the museum began to expand its exhibits to include the instruments used by some of New Orleans' most notable jazz musicians, as well as photographs and posters. There are plans to convert the museum into the Louisiana Music Museum, which would further enhance its cultural and historical significance.

The Louisiana Historical Center

The Louisiana Historical Center is located on the third floor of the New Orleans Mint building. This center houses collections of colonial-era manuscripts, maps, and other material sources in a wide range of media. It is open to anyone interested in the history and culture of Louisiana, making it a valuable resource for both locals and tourists alike.
