The Warehouse District, also known as the Arts District, was originally established in the 19th century as an industrial area to store coffee, grain, and produce shipped through the Port of New Orleans. As time progressed, this area became more of a wasteland and was eventually transformed into an Arts Center. This transformation started in 1976 and offers artwork, music, theater, and dance today.
The Warehouse District is know for James Beard Award-Winning Chefs, Julia Street (Gallery Row), National World War II Museum, Blaine Kern’s Mardi Gras World, and the Convention Center.
 Warehouse District Included in the Arts District is museums, art galleries, dining, and music. One of the most popular museums is The National World War II Museum. This museum has brought over 2 million visitors. |
