THNOC reopens Tricentennial Wing

The Historic New Orleans Collection (THNOC) reopened the galleries in its Tricentennial wing on Tuesday, September 8th 2020. Right now the Tricentennial Wing has three installations on view:  

These new additions will join THNOC’s current offerings: the courtyard displays, as well as the self-guided walking tours available in THNOC’s French Quarter Tours app. In addtion, Café Cour is open and observing the same hours as the museum galleries. Some experiences—such as the History of the French Quarter Galleries, the Louisiana History Galleries, and the Williams Residence—will remain closed. And, while the galleries are reopening, we will continue to offer a variety of online programming.  

The reopening of THNOC’s Tricentennial Wing is made possible with support from the Louisiana Culture Care Fund. Funding for Louisiana Culture Care Fund grants has been provided by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and administered by the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities (LEH) as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act economic stabilization plan.
