On Saturday, September 23, The Historic New Orleans Collection will be among 14 Louisiana museums participating in Smithsonian magazine's Museum Day Live! 2017, offering free admission for guided tours to anyone who downloads an online ticket.

An annual celebration of culture, learning, and the dissemination of knowledge, Museum Day Live! reflects the spirit of the Smithsonian and emulates the free-admission policy of its Washington, D.C.-based facilities. As a Museum Day Live! 2017 participant, THNOC will offer ticket holders free tours of the Williams Residence or free Architecture and Courtyards Tours. The offer is good for only one tour, both of which are offered at 533 Royal St. at 10 and 11 a.m., and 2 and 3 p.m. on Saturdays.
