NOLA.com: See a 360-Degree View of the American Revolution at this New French Quarter Exhibit
April 14, 2026
Contributing writer Dave Walker asked HNOC’s chief curator about what visitors can look forward to in the new interactive exhibition.
“The HistoPads are back at HNOC—hand-held tablets that act as a portal to 360-degree views of the sites and events depicted in American Revolution: The Augmented Exhibition . . . Visitors trigger each chapter at pedestals positioned in front of wall-sized images of key landmarks and moments of the insurrectionists’ story, from colonial Virginia to Boston to Philadelphia to Yorktown and all the way to the Gulf Coast, where Spanish Gov. Bernardo de Gálvez directed a multicultural militia of free men of color, Acadians, Indigenous volunteers and Spanish regulars to a series of victories against the British.”
