The Old Ursuline Convent is a fantastic place to spend an afternoon. Built around 1753, it is the oldest building in the Mississippi Valley... but remains full of fresh ideas, wonderful presentations, and a beautiful, peaceful chapel and lovely gardens.
The museum housed within is extraordinary. Tastefully displayed pieces of the church's past provide a vast array of knowledge to both the religiously and historically inclined.
This is a piece of New Orleans that truly deserves to be visited over and over again.
