Museum Month Returns
This August, New Orleans Museum Month returns with free admission to 29 participating museums citywide when you hold an active membership at any one of them.
The program, organized by New Orleans & Company, runs from August 1 to 31 and grants people access to institutions such as the National WWII Museum, the New Orleans Museum of Art, and the Historic New Orleans Collection, as well as smaller cultural centers across the city.
To participate, guests must show proof of an active annual membership, digital or physical, to one of the participating museums at the front desk of each museum. That membership unlocks free access to all other locations for the rest of the month.
