The exhibition "Unknown Sitters" at The Historic New Orleans Collection will feature a captivating display of portraits of unidentified individuals from the historical record. Through these portraits, the lost identities of the sitters come to light, offering a glimpse into their lives and the era they lived in. The absence of names attached to these portraits, often due to various historical reasons, has not diminished their power to communicate. By examining details such as clothing, settings, inscriptions, and artist biographies, curators have pieced together narratives that shed light on the diverse lives captured in these artworks. This collection of portraits not only reflects the landscape of portraiture in New Orleans but also highlights the historical gaps and biases present in the records. Particularly poignant is the emphasis on restoring individual identities, especially for marginalized groups like children, the elderly, women, and people of color. The exhibition challenges visitors to engage with historical portraiture in a new light, urging them to remember and imagine the untold stories behind these mysterious faces. Plan your visit to 520 Royal Street, Tricentennial Wing, 1st Floor, from April 5, 2024, to October 6, 2024, Tuesdays to Saturdays from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Sundays from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Admission is free.

I&#39;m a history buff and the national ww2 museum was a long awaited trip. It was an easy 20 mins walk from the French quarter. We ended up spending well past 5 hours here. There is just so much information to read and all very interesting. It&#39;s a well done exhibit and strongly recommended for those with an interest in history and world war 2 era.

Jackson Square

Historic buildings

小思文

Jackson Square is also a rather distinctive building. The area around here is not very prosperous. There are fewer people at night, and there are not many tour groups. There is a statue erected in the center of the square, but the specific history of the person is not very clear.

The French Quarter in New Orleans is also a large area. There are many things to visit here. There are also some very interesting small designs in the French Quarter, with things of different specifications designed according to the layout here. I really like the appearance here.
