A visit to the Irish Cultural Museum of New Orleans, Louisiana, will leave you with a truly new perspective and appreciation for the history of this beautifully complex city. You'll learn the untold history and stories of Irish adventurers, soldiers, mercenaries, priests, entrepreneurs, philanthropists, and public servants who found their niche here in New Orleans, and how their spirit, accomplishments, and culture all still define New Orleans today. We are telling the untold story of the hard-working Irish folk that traveled to a new land in order to escape famine.
The Irish Cultural Museum of New Orleans has as its mission statement to devote resources to educate and create public awareness among locals, tourists, and others of the contributions Ireland, her people, and their culture have made to New Orleans since its colonial beginnings.
We strive to promote knowledge and appreciation of the history of New Orleans, her Irish heritage and culture, and the present day Irish-American community. We support causes and organizations with similar ambitions who actively engage in benefiting society by promoting unity, friendship, and Christian charity.
