(February 12, 2020 / JNS) Officials with the Museum of the Southern Jewish Experience (MSJE) announced that the new museum will open in fall 2020 in New Orleans.
A museum that explores the history of the Jewish community in the South has set an opening date after being delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Museum of the Southern Jewish Experience will open May 27 in downtown New Orleans, according to a news release Tuesday. It is located at 818 Howard Ave., blocks away from The National World War II Museum, the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, the new Culinary and Hospitality Institute and the Southern Food & Beverage Museum.
Multimedia exhibits in the 9,000-square-foot facility explore the ways Jews in the South have been influenced by the cultural heritage of their communities, covering 13 states and more than 300 years of history – including Colonial, Civil War, World War II and the Civil Rights Movement. The exhibits are designed by Gallagher & Associates, who created exhibits at The National World War II Museum and has worked with the National College Football Hall of Fame and the recently opened Sazerac House in New Orleans.
