The LSM is the official state-supported museum of Louisiana history and culture that encompasses a statewide network of National Historic Landmarks and architecturally significant buildings in five Louisiana cities that house nearly half a million artifacts.

Funding and programmatic support is focused primarily on Louisiana’s most Historic crown jewel, The Cabildo, and our newest star, The New Orleans Jazz Museum, at the Old U.S. Mint—Where Jazz is celebrated in the city it was born!

On behalf of the LSM, we pursue and accept all donations & Grants, and produce engaging programming to appeal to our members, a community of Louisiana history and cultural enthusiasts.
