Culture Travel: LA State Museum of NOLA Back in Business
The Saints are marching in, and they have a lot of baggage. NPR reported this weekend that after months in storage, artifacts belonging to the New Orleans outpost of the Louisiana State Museum, which lost its roof in Hurricane Katrina, are being shipped back in trucks.
Pieces like Louis Armstrong's original trumpet are returning to their rightful place in the museum in two to four truckloads a day after they were evacuated to Baton Rouge.
The Museum is currently showcasing the exhibit "Let Your Motto Be Resistance: African American Portraits." It's planning an expansive exhibit on Katrina and New Orleans soon.
