The year 2012, the bicentennial of Louisiana’s statehood, will be filled with celebrations in New Orleans and around the state. The Historic New Orleans Collection began its commemoration of the momentous year in the summer with the opening of the exhibition The 18th Star: Treasures from 200 Years of Louisiana Statehood, which continues on view through January 29 at 533 Royal Street. Featuring objects from the permanent collection, the exhibition reflects the richness of our heritage throughout the past two centuries. The 17th annual Williams Research Center Symposium on January 28, 2012, Louisiana at 200: In the National Eye, will also celebrate the anniversary by exploring some of the issues that have either separated or unified our citizens. And on January 25 we will present the sixth concert with the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra highlighting music that reveals our American character, Becoming American: The Musical Journey.
When Louisiana became a part of the United States, its population was as diverse as it remains today. Celebrating a shared identity while embracing the states varied cultural practices is a fascinating challenge. Presenting our history so that it can be appreciated, studied further, and understood is a major objective ofThe Collection’s mission.
We will also celebrate the opening of the restored Perrilliat House, at the corner of Conti and Chartres Streets, in the new year. Slated for completion at the beginning of 2012, the 1820s structure will provide additional exhibition galleries and administrative offices, permitting The Collection to better fulfill its mission.
We hope that you will join us as we revel in the uniqueness of our diversity and honor the people whose lives have contributed to this great state of Louisiana!
