School and offices of the archdiocese used to educate children and care for orphans became a museum.
Built by French colonial engineers in the early 1750s, it is the oldest building in the Mississippi Valley. The first Ursuline nuns arrived from Rouen in 1727 to educate children and care for orphans. In 1749, they moved into the convent (the same one as today) and left it in 1824. Before becoming a museum, the place was also home to a school, the offices of the archdiocese and priests who looked after the city's Italian community.

Je ne saurais trop recommander de vérifier les horaires de tous les musées de la Nouvelle-Orléans quand vous vous y rendez, notamment les maisons à visiter car leurs horaires sont assez limités et très fluctuants. Superbe bâtiment qui une nouvelle fois tranche avec les bâtisses environnantes.
