NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) – August is Museum Month in New Orleans and this means free admission to the seventeen museums participating this summer. Museum supporters who are card carrying members of at least one of the museums on the list, will get in for free with a guest during the month of August. The idea is to get more people involved in the local culture and art that is available in our city. Here’s a list of the seventeen participants:
