Housed in the historic Old U.S. Mint at the edge of the French Quarter and the Frenchmen Street live music corridor, the New Orleans Jazz Museum holds a world-class collection of jazz artifacts. Affiliated with the Louisiana State Museum, the institution presents exhibitions, education, and research alongside its programming.
Beyond its exhibits, the Museum's third-floor Performance Center is a genuine draw in its own right, hosting live concerts, lectures, recordings, and community programming that underscore the institution's deep ties to the city's living jazz community, not just its history.
