How the 15 mile rule works in Louisiana
NARM does not apply within 15 miles of the institution where you hold your membership, and in a state this shape that matters differently depending on where you joined.
- The New Orleans African American Museum (NOAAM) members lose 9 of the other 16 places in the state to the exclusion, and keep 7.
- New Orleans Jazz Museum members lose 9 of the other 16 places in the state to the exclusion, and keep 7.
- The Historic New Orleans Collection members lose 9 of the other 16 places in the state to the exclusion, and keep 7.
Planning a trip around Louisiana
New Orleans is the busiest single base: 10 of the 17 are within 25 miles of it, so one day out covers 59% of the state list. Another 2 sit more than 100 miles away, and the list spans about 218 miles end to end, so the rest is a second trip rather than a detour.
