Louis Armstrong House Museum 34-56 107th Street, Queens, New York 11368,

"Always been a jazz fan and wanted to visit. It's a small house, but with a nice energy. Keep in mind it's situated down in Queens and the area does not seems very friendly. All in all I recommend the experience."

"It was an awesome experience to spend time in the home of the late, great Louis Armstrong. We were staying in Manhattan and took an easy subway ride into the area of Queens to join the small tour of around 10 other people inside this (unremarkable from the outside) house, still packed with his belongings as he left it when he died. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and fascinating to listen to, we were shown every room in the house and shown pictures of Louis in the rooms as they still are. The tour ended in the back garden of the house where we could stay as long as we wished. The exhibition across the road which we viewed beforehand was also excellent."

"We had a wonderful time here. It’s a strange museum, though. One of the most significant musicians in American history and you find yourself checking out his bathroom fixtures and hanging out in his wife’s bedroom with her nightie and slippers. Actually felt a little invasive! But that said, a fascinating glimpse into their world and a bit of insight into the man behind the music. The exhibit center across the street had some background though it’s rather small and weirdly there is little about the music itself. More about his impact on the culture. But everyone was super nice and knowledgeable and enthusiastic. A way different experience than, say, going to the Whitney. Give it a shot and book the house tour ahead."
