After the Storms
Thursday January 14, 2010 from 9:00am - 8:00pm
Louisiana State Museum
751 Chartres St
New Orleans, Louisiana 70116 Get Directions
National Geographic magazine and the Louisiana State Museum have partnered to create an exhibit showcasing haunting images by award-winning photojournalist David Burnett, documenting ruined lives and neighborhoods in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Also on display will be evocative images by 15 New Orleans high school students who took part in National Geographic's Photo Camp 2006, a photography workshop in which students, mentored by a National Geographic photographer, go on assignment to document their communities. The exhibit features poignant images of the Lower 9th Ward and the French Quarter. A highlight of the exhibit is a piano from the home of Louisiana rock 'n' roll legend Fats Domino. He escaped rising floodwaters in his New Orleans home and gained national attention when he was missing for several days after the storm. His ruined piano was retrieved by the Louisiana State Museum for stabilization and display in a permanent hurricane exhibition scheduled for early 2008.
