Louisiana Children's Museum

This guide to the Louisiana Children's Museum in New Orleans opens with a question chief executive Julia Bland spent over a decade chasing after Hurricane Katrina: could a children's museum be built to survive rising water? It follows the museum's move from a landlocked downtown warehouse to an eight and a half acre site in City Park, raised five feet off the ground, funded by a forty seven million dollar campaign. You'll hear about the hundred foot water table tracing the Mississippi from source to gulf, and the fog sculpture that drifts over the courtyard on humid mornings. Take a slow walk around the lagoon before heading inside.
