About the New Orleans African American MuseumThe New Orleans African American Museum of Art, History, and Culture (NOAAM) was founded in 1996 under the guidance and extensive support of the City of New Orleans Department of Housing and Neighborhood Development. NOAAM is located in the Tremé section of New Orleans, a neighborhood that was once home to the nation’s largest, most prosperous, and politically progressive community of Blacks by the mid-1850s. NOAAM seeks to educate and to preserve, interpret, and promote the contributions that people of African descent have made to the development of New Orleans and Louisiana culture, as slaves and as free people of color throughout the history of American slavery as well as during Emancipation, Reconstruction, and contemporary times.

New Orleans African American Museum

Celebrate NOAAM's 30th Anniversary with an immersive evening of culture, storytelling, music, and community in historic Tremé.
