The 1850 House offers the chance to experience the lifestyle of our ancestors of more than 150 years ago. It offers a glimpse of middle- and upper-class life in antebellum New Orleans, the most prosperous period in the city’s history. The Cabildo at Jackson Square, is an elegant Spanish colonial building neighboring St. Louis Cathedral and houses with many rare artifacts of America’s history. At the New Orleans Jazz Museum, you'll be able to see the instruments on which New Orleans’ greatest musicians played to create their landmark sounds—Louis Armstrong’s cornet, Fats Domino’s piano, Sidney Bechet’s soprano sax and more are all on display.
See what's on display at the Contemporary Arts Center. The CAC has been considered to be the heart of the New Orleans art community, featuring rotating exhibitions of traditional, progressive, alternative and experimental art in all forms.
Spend an evening at the oldest jazz club in New Orleans, Fritzel's European Jazz Club. The club is located in the heart of the French Quarter and offers live shows almost every night of the week. Fritzel's has been open since 1969 and has a reputation for being a "home away from home" for many jazz musicians. Visit the nightlife destination and learn the stuff of a true New Orleans music venue.
