    I try to visit the museum whenever I'm in New Orleans. There's no way to do it all in one day. 😍

    Hey!! Thanks for the comment. We agree. It’s really well-done, and you can easily spend a lot of time soaking it all up. We know we missed a lot, and would absolutely go back. Do you go to NOLA often? What a great, unique and rich experience!!

    @@dchiddengems I go to NOLA whenever I can. Sometimes when I visit family in Louisiana. Ironically, I didn't discover the museum until I tagged along with another family member to New Orleans, whose sorority had their annual convention there. On the ride to the hotel from the airport, I spotted the billboard for the museum. Turns out it was walking distance from the hotel. I was becoming a WW2 fanatic, so that's all she wrote (My father was a WW2 veteran). While my family was either in the convention center or the casino, I was in the museum. I've since joined and actually attended the WW2 conference.
