The observatory and exhibit are located at the foot of Canal Street in the newly renovated Four Seasons high-rise building.

As visitors enter, they are greeted by legendary New Orleans figures, such as the Soul Queen of New Orleans, Irma Thomas, and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band.

"For years we've been gathering stories from local historians, artists, musicians, Mardi Gras Indians, and chefs, leaders of business … all with the goal to curate a state-of-the-art cultural experience and share the real story of New Orleans – what it was, what it is and what it all means," said Paul Flower, developer of Vue Orleans.
