NEW ORLEANS (NOLA WEEKEND) - More than two dozen New Orleans museums and cultural institutions will offer free admission during New Orleans Museum Month in August.
New Orleans Museum Month is a collaboration between museums of all sizes across the greater New Orleans area. It offers museum members the opportunity to visit all participating institutions, free of charge, using their current museum membership throughout the month of August.
The promotion includes a mix of major art museums and cultural landmarks throughout the New Orleans area.
This year’s list features some new additions, including JAMNOLA, the cultural funhouse in the Bywater, and Vue Orleans, the 360-degree observation deck and cultural exhibit on top of the Four Seasons Hotel.
Another notable location is the Backstreet Cultural Museum, which moved to a new home in Treme last year after the museum’s old location was damaged in Hurricane Ida.

Other popular locations include the Museum of the Southern Jewish Experience, National WWII Museum, Sazerac House, Louisiana Children’s Museum and the Ogden Museum of Art.
