The Seignouret-Brulatour House: A New Chapter

When New Orleans celebrates its three hundredth anniversary in 2018, The Historic New Orleans Collection will open its largest addition in the institution’s fifty-year history—the Seignouret-Brulatour House at 520 Royal Street. In anticipation of this occasion, THNOC presents the small-scale exhibition The Seignouret-Brulatour House: A New Chapter, now on view at 533 Royal Street. The building’s storied past includes a furniture dealer, a wine merchant, a preservationist and tobacco executive, bohemian artists, and even Dick Van Dyke. The display features a glimpse into its two hundred-year history, a model of the forthcoming facility, and a timeline that charts the progress of its renovation. Admission to the exhibition, on view through January of 2018, is free, and it is open Tuesday–Saturday, 9:30 am–4:30 pm, and Sunday, 10:30 am–4:30 pm.
