NEW ORLEANS – The New Orleans African American Museum (NOAAM) has joined the New Orleans Public Library’s Culture Pass Program, which provides Library cardholders the opportunity to visit a variety of cultural institutions across the city for free.
“We’re thrilled to welcome the New Orleans African American Museum to the Culture Pass Program,” said Emily Painton, the library’s executive director and city librarian. “Our shared missions to preserve history and celebrate the rich culture of our city, especially the contributions of our African American community, make this an excellent addition to our program.”
Gia Hamilton, executive director and chief curator for the New Orleans African American Museum, shared her excitement to partner with the library to invite local visitors to the Tremé property.
“Libraries and museums are among our most powerful public resources,” said Hamilton. “Together, they preserve memory, expand access to knowledge, and invite people of all ages to see themselves reflected in history. We are honored to join the New Orleans Public Library’s Culture Pass Program and welcome new visitors to the museum campus. We are excited to deepen opportunities for learning, discovery, and community connection in one of the nation’s most historic Black neighborhoods.”
Each NOAAM Culture Pass admits one adult general admission Thursdays through Sundays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Once reserved, cardholders may present the pass at the Museum where it will be redeemed for an admission ticket.
