Anmeldelse af Old Ursuline Convent Museum Den nye pave Leo XIV udstilling
Beskrivelse
Besøg Old Ursuline Convent Museum, den ældste bygning i Mississippi River Valley, hvor New Orleans' rige fortid kommer til live. Dette ikoniske landemærke ligger i hjertet af det franske kvarter og afslører den katolske kirkes vedvarende indflydelse gennem fængslende permanente og midlertidige udstillinger. Dyk ned i vores nyeste udstilling med pave Leo XIV. Pave Leo XIV's fascinerende arv, hvis bånd til New Orleans går dybt, spores gennem hans moderlige slægt og forbinder ham med byens livlige historie. Oplev de bemærkelsesværdige bidrag fra Ursuline nonner, pionerer i uddannelse og samfundstjeneste, der hjalp med at forme regionen. Fra sin tid som et mødested for Louisiana lovgivningsmyndighed til sin rolle som residens for ærkebiskopperne i New Orleans, har dette historiske sted været vidne til århundreder af forandring. Udforsk de historier, der udfoldede sig inden for disse mure - fra 1752 til i dag - og fordyb dig i den kultur, der definerer Crescent City.

The history and storytelling of Kirk our guide was captivating and interesting. With this being the oldest building in New Orleans we couldn’t help but get tickets to explore and see the beauty of the architecture and craftsmanship from day of old. As we were leaving Kirk told us the story of the tragedy of the old clock that the nuns brought over from France that they donated to the Nuns in Galveston TX that was part of the devastating Hurricane of 1900. Right as Kirk finished his story about the clock the door slammed shut!
Although there are guides for tours,the times are not publicized nor provided in advance so you don't know for sure until you get there.Open 10-2. We caught up with a docent with a small group tour when we arrived just before noon and he was excellent. Had we not joined him, we would not have appreciated the buildings and grounds as he shared the history and his personal experience and knowledge about the chapel, statues, & Pope Leo. There was no other structured tour in the afternoon, just self-guided. So glad we joined them!
This was a very educational and fantastic tour for anyone, but for Catholics and/or historians especially. The tour guide was Mr. Martin and he was born and raised in New Orleans and had so much knowledge about the buildings and their history. I would recommend this tour as a top 3 in New Orleans and I would take the tour again.
Loved the tour, very informative, learn a lot…. The tour guide was so passionate about her job, definitely a highlight !!
This building is absolutely stunning! The museum was well worth the time and experience. Rich history and our tour guide, Guy was great! Wealth of information.
Anyone exploring the French Quarter with a passion for faith and history must experience The Old Ursuline Convent Museum. This complex destination has eluded me on my prior visits to the quarter but I will return to explore it again. The entry fee is less than a cup of cafe Du Monde coffee. Do not miss.
Lovely museum full of Catholic and local history. Very accessible and beautiful grounds. Highly edifying.
Amazing building! Had an incredible time! A must visit in New Orleans! I had no idea this even existed and the history behind it is fascinating! Now I also know where I might try to have my Weeding :-)
