What you'll do
Step inside the Old Ursuline Convent Museum and explore one of the earliest chapters of New Orleans history. Located in the French Quarter, this carefully preserved site offers a quiet, thoughtful look at the city’s colonial past and the role the Ursuline nuns played in shaping daily life, education and religion in early Louisiana.
As you move through the building, you’ll find a mix of permanent and rotating exhibits that trace centuries of change, from French and Spanish rule to the growth of the city around it. Period furnishings, religious art and historical documents help bring the stories to life without overwhelming the space.
Explore this incredible space at your own pace as you pause, reflect and appreciate the details of one of the region’s oldest surviving structures.
