Chasing the Butterfly Man:
The Search for a Lost
New Orleans
Cabinetmaker, 1810-1825

Now Open at the Cabildo

The story is intriguing & curated
by my talented friend 
Cybèle Gontar!

Here's another fabulous New Orleans 
jewel box exhibit!
Historic New Orleans Collection 
Presents:
 New Orleans Drawings of
Gaston de Pontalba, 1848–1851

I still get goosebumps thinking about when five years ago (while on my 2nd trip to their château), Charles Edouard, Baron de Pontalba, excitedly showed these drawings to me while I was visiting. 
He had discovered Gaston's works just a fortnight before.
They are to be treasured!

Reconnecting the Pontalba family to Louisiana has been a highlight of my life! 
The Pontalba family are guardians of our shared French Creole culture.

We're looking forward to the
Louisiana Museum Foundation's
sojourn to the Pontalba's
splendid troubadour chȃteau!

Come to France with Me!
