The New Orleans Jazz Museum, located in the historic Old U.S. Mint building, is dedicated to preserving and promoting the history of jazz in New Orleans. Established in 1961, it initially operated as a wing of the Louisiana State Museum before becoming an independent entity in 2015. The museum’s collections include instruments once owned by prominent jazz musicians, photographs, sheet music, and recordings documenting the evolution of the genre. Beyond exhibits, the museum regularly hosts concerts and educational programs designed to celebrate New Orleans’ musical heritage and support contemporary artists continuing that legacy. The building itself is a National Historic Landmark, adding to its cultural significance.
