The National WWII Museum
There are many marvellous exhibits in the museum which include a Higgins boat, which was the landing craft that took allied troops ashore during the Normandy landings, a British Spitfire aircraft and a German Sherman tank.
Audubon Aquarium
The Aquarium is recognised as one of the leading aquariums in America hosting over 10,000 animals from both North and South America. The four main exhibits here are the Mississippi, which is the river that runs through New Orleans, The Amazon, featuring the feared piranha fish, the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico. The Gulf of Mexico exhibit features ‘Life beneath an Oil Rig’, which since the BP oil disaster has become a popular educational exhibit. The Audubon Institute was also involved with coordinating the clean-up efforts after the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and the aquarium acted as a base for the many volunteers involved.
Southern Food and Beverage Museum
The city of New Orleans is home to a multitude of top class eateries and so it is no surprise to find a museum dedicated to the gastric delights that are on offer in the southern states of America. There are an eclectic mix of exhibitions such as an exhibit dedicated solely to Elvis’ love of food. The museum also runs food and beverage courses such as beer and wine making and sometimes hosts guest chef demonstrations.
