Spanish New Orleans and the Caribbean / La Nueva Orleans y el Caribe españoles

A bilingual exhibition / Una exposición bilingüe

November 2, 2022–January 22, 2023 /

Tuesday/martes–Saturday/sábado, 9:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m; Sunday/domingo, 10:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m.

520 Royal Street, Tricentennial Wing, 1st Floor

Free ticketed admission / Acceso gratuito con entrada

About the Exhibition / Sobre la exposición

New Orleans has long been identified—by locals, tourists, and historians alike—with its French heritage. A groundbreaking exhibition at The Historic New Orleans Collection restores balance to that assessment. During four decades under Spanish rule (1762–1803), the city experienced natural disaster, diplomatic tensions, and demographic transformation. Despite numerous challenges, Spanish New Orleans morphed from a poorly managed outpost on the edge of an empire to a highly urbanized colonial capital—one enriched by the racial and cultural diversity for which it is celebrated today.

Rare Artifacts come to New Orleans for Exhibition on Spanish Colonial Era

Free bilingual display on view Oct. 20, 2022–Jan. 22, 2023

Features more than 120 objects — including maps, documents, furniture, paintings, books and more — from THNOC’s permanent holdings as well as from several institutions in Spain, Mexico and the United States. The display is the first and only time this selection of objects will be presented together in one space.

In a first for THNOC, “Spanish New Orleans and the Caribbean / La Nueva Orleans y el Caribe españoles” will be presented in both English and Spanish.

“Spanish New Orleans and the Caribbean” will be on view on the first level of THNOC’s Tricentennial Wing at 520 Royal St. in the French Quarter from Oct. 29, 2022, through Jan. 22, 2023. Admission is free. Advance reservations are recommended and may be made at my.hnoc.org beginning Thursday, Oct.13, 2022. For more information, visit www.hnoc.org.

The Historic New Orleans Collection

Join us in celebrating the New Orleans debut of "Notre-Dame de Paris: The Augmented Exhibition," an interactive experience that offers a glimpse into the past, present, and future of a landmark that has weathered wars, witnessed Napoleon's coronation, withstood a devastating fire in 2019, and is now undergoing a meticulous restoration to return the structure to its former glory.

Each visitor will be issued a HistoPad as their portal into the past that offers unique insight into the cathedral's historical timeline, plus fun activities for the entire family.

After stunning audiences in Paris, Dubai, and Washington DC, we are excited to be only the second US institution to host the exhibition, which will be on view through March 1 in THNOC's Tricentennial Wing at 520 Royal Street.

Admission is free, with timed-ticketing reservations required. Learn more and reserve tickets: hnoc.org/notre-dame

The Family Line is very sweet and powerful at the same time!   

The show's plot is an original performance inspired by the histories of the BK House and the 1892 General Strike, 

when over 30,000 New Orleans workers walked off the job to fight for shorter work days, increased pay, and ‘closed’ 

union shops. It was a successful interracial organizing event that shut down the city for days before winning workers’ 

historic rights. The new immersive play is produced by Goat in the Road and set in the HIstoric BK House and Gardens, 

so during the show, audience members will be able to explore the historic property, following the characters and storylines 

they choose. The production will take place on the ground level of the courtyard and surrounding buildings, making it 

accessible to all. This stately 1826 mansion in the French Quarter contains collections from the Beauregard Family and 

from noted author Frances Parkinson Keyes.

Music and Lyrics by Irving Berlin

Book by Gordon Greenberg and Chad Hodge

Based on the Film from Universal Pictures

Holiday Inn, The New Irving Berlin Musical is a 2016 Broadway musical based on the 1942 film of the same name. The libretto is by Gordon Greenberg and Chad Hodge, with music and lyrics by Irving Berlin. Based on the classic film, this joyous musical features thrilling dance numbers, laugh-out-loud comedy, and a parade of hit Irving Berlin songs, including “Blue Skies,” “Easter Parade,” “Steppin’ Out With My Baby,” “Heat Wave,” and “White Christmas.” Irving Berlin’s Holiday Inn tells the story of Jim, who leaves the bright lights of show business behind to settle down on his farmhouse in Connecticut. He quickly discovers life isn’t the same without a bit of song and dance. So Jim and Linda, a spirited schoolteacher with talent to spare, turn the farmhouse into a fabulous inn that celebrates each holiday, from Thanksgiving to the Fourth of July.

LSU will play Purdue for the first time ever on January 2 in the Citrus Bowl

LSU will cap off coach Brian Kelly’s first season in the Citrus Bowl against the Purdue Boilermakers on Jan. 2.

The game is set for Noon CT in Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida and will mark the third time the Tigers have played in the bowl game since 2016.

After dropping back-to-back games to both Georgia and Texas A&M to end the season, it was inevitable the Tigers’ lofty bowl expectations would diminish, pushing them to a Citrus Bowl berth.
