Louis Armstrong House Museum

Outstanding opportunity to tour in a small group and see where Louis Armstrong and his last wife, Lucille, lived until they passed. Great tour guide knowledgeable about the collection and Louis and Lucille's biographies; the chance to listen to tapes of Louis talking that he made at home on his reel-to-reel. And now across the street, a newly opened (two months ago, as of September 2023) museum with artifacts and digitized archives that contribute so much to the experience. I'll be returning there for sure, and it seems as though they are continuing to renovate the house (basement now) and add to what's viewable from the archives. An American treausre.

Highly recommend. The tour was great, our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and really took his time with us, we learned so much. The staff was very kind and accommodating, fit us into a booked tour after a mistake on my end. Thank you!

It is the tour of the house by a knowledgeable and passionate guide that made today’s visit truly unforgettable! Loved the guide’s vision and narration, sort of a look at the artist from a more intimate, personal stand, and especially enjoyed her acknowledgement of Lucille’s role in the story. I could really feel the guide’s deep care for the place. As a plus - an interesting neighbourhood to wander around after the visit.

Great place to visit and a wonderful tribute to this amazing man, and his wife.

Wonderful tour led by staff at the museum. Home is in pristine condition. Easy to imagine moments highlighted with use of voice recordings of Louis Armstrong.
Spent a little time in the garden but ran across to the museum as it began raining.

What a gem. A must see museum. The house is preserved as it was when Louis and Lucille we're alive. The Museum is really well curated. You can hear all his recordings plus there is a lot of film footage. Only thing would be good if the guides were African American and knew something about Louis Armstrong rather than reading their notes. We took the subway from Manhattan.

The tour of one of America's greatest musician was fantastic. The guide was helpful with a wonderful biography and interesting events, both at the house and on tour. I highly recommend the tour and the gift shop. You will not regret the experience. No matter where you live, spend some time reliving a magical event.
