New Orleans - Arts District (Warehouse District)

At the National WWII Museum in New Orleans the story of WWII soldiers is told through artifacts, film, photographs, diaries and oral histories. The complex features a variety of segments. At the Louisiana Memorial Pavilion, the focus is on the soldiers' experiences throughout the war, with exhibits on D-Day at Normandy, and Home Front and the Pacific. A film entitled Beyond All Boundaries, produced by Tom Hanks, is shown in the 4 D Theater. The museum also features traveling exhibitions to compliment the permanent collection.

Also part of the complex is the Stage Door Canteen, featuring entertainment of the 1940s, with matinees and dinner shows. Visitors can also check out the American Sector Restaurant or the Soda Shop with sandwiches, light snacks, and ice cream.

The K & B Plaza in New Orleans is an indoor and outdoor collection of more than 50 20th C sculptures.

The exterior of the Louisiana Children's Museum building in New Orleans is reminiscent of an Italian Palazzo, with large arched doorways and windows, and string courses (raised brick outlining the arches) detailing. All of the wood and brick in the building are believed to be original.

Hands-on exhibits are available to children from 2 to 12 years old including a math and physics lab; physical fitness; waterworks and a theater.

The Ogden Museum of Southern Art in New Orleans features a growing digital art collection and archival research center based upon the 4,000 works donated to the University of New Orleans Foundation by Roger H Ogden.
