Hi all,
I will be in New Orleans tomorrow shooting a book fair for a local bookstore and I was considering going to the WWII museum. I looked at their website and I can't find anything regarding the rules for photography. Has anyone been there and can let me know what the rules are?
Thanks,
-Erik-

I visited about 2 years ago and cameras were OK. You will enjoy the Museum. We put a brick in the entrance for my father.

I dont know the rules on photography although you can take photos when you go in. Don't miss the 4D show. I have been there twice and i would go back again just for the museum. This is a great museum, don't miss it. They now have a Pacific theater section with a submarine. You can't imagine what these poor men went through.

Thanks guys. It's a shame that I live only 85 miles from there and have not been to the museum yet. I don't get to N.O. very often.

Hi Erik,
My husband and I were just there the 1st of Sept and really enjoyed NOLA. We went to the WWII Museum and yes, you can take pictures, however you are NOT allowed to use a flash. All these I took with my D7100 using my 18-105mm lens at anywhere from ISO 400 to 2000. Have a great time and spend the extra $'s and watch the Tom Hanks narratted 4D film. Also, use the trolleys and save your feet, buy the $3.00 a day pass for unlimited anywhere the trolley goes for a day. Enjoy NOLA and go to Cafe Du Monde for beignets and cafe au lait!

Here are some images from our trip...

Thanks CHuckle's,
Like I said, I'll be shooting a book fair that my son is working at for most of the day, and I hope that I'll have time afterwards and can talk him into going with me.
Very nice shots by the way.

That's akin to growing up in San Antonio and never going to the Alamo! BTW, you have been to the 9-11 Memorial, haven't you?
