All of its furnishings are original and have been preserved, giving visitors the feeling that Louis & Lucille just stepped out for a minute. The museum conducts guided house tours and features new exhibitions each season. Thanks to Louis's home-recorded private tapes, visitors can hear Louis at home playing his trumpet, telling jokes, eating dinner, and more! It’s an intimate visit as if you can sit down and have a cup of coffee with Satchmo himself. The museum owns the largest publicly held collection in the world devoted to a jazz musician. It’s a National Historic Landmark & a NYC Landmark.
