Experience the Old Ursuline Convent Museum in New Orleans

Step into the Old Ursuline Convent Museum for a journey into American and Catholic heritage in the heart of New Orleans. As the oldest surviving structure in the Mississippi Valley, this museum stands as a testament to both the city's history and its resilience.

A Glimpse into Colonial New Orleans

Begin your visit by learning how French colonists and Ursuline nuns shaped early New Orleans. These pioneering women were among the first to provide formal education and healthcare in the city, leaving a lasting legacy on the region's communities.

Explore the Convent’s Historic Spaces

The museum is home to beautifully preserved artifacts and displays. Walk through elegant courtyards framed by 18th-century architecture. Admire the chapel’s detailed woodwork and serene atmosphere, which offers a moment of reflection away from the bustling French Quarter.

Historic rooms tell the story of the Ursuline nuns’ commitment to education and social welfare. Exhibits detail how the building played essential roles through eras like French and Spanish rule, the American Revolution and the Battle of New Orleans. Each corner of the museum offers a new perspective on city life and tradition.

Special Exhibit: Pope Leo XIV

Your ticket also includes access to the exclusive Pope Leo XIV exhibit. Discover artifacts and insights connected to this important figure and their relationship to the Catholic faith and New Orleans society.

Deepen Your Connection to New Orleans Heritage

Outside, wander the lush garden paths and observe the tranquil courtyard—a rare retreat in a busy city. Informative displays and thoughtful curation ensure that your visit is meaningful, whether you are curious about colonial history or searching for traces of New Orleans' Catholic roots.

Throughout your time at the museum, the attention to detail and preservation efforts are clear. The Old Ursuline Convent Museum is not just an educational experience; it’s a bridge to the city’s formative years and a story of community resilience amid challenge and change.
