Louis Armstrong House Museum Launches "That's My Home" Digital Initiative

New York, NY (Top40 Charts) The Louis Armstrong House Museum (LAHM) launches "That's My Home," a new online exhibition that shares with homebound citizens around the globe a glimpse into Louis's life at his home in Corona, Queens, where he lived the last 40 years of his life. LAHM's Research Collections Director, Ricky Riccardi, has been hard at work with the Museum's staff to create an online portal documenting Armstrong's life at home through archival footage, rare photographs, and priceless audio from Armstrong's own private reel-to-reel tapes. In the coming weeks, the site will add virtual tours of the home (a national landmark), livestream panel discussions, and more.

"For 25 years, Queens College has proudly preserved the Louis Armstrong Research Collections and has opened their doors to anyone with an interest in this monumental artist," says Jeff Rosenstock, Queens College's Assistant Vice President for Governmental Affairs and LAHM's Acting Director. "Today we celebrate the precious time Satchmo spent at home in Corona, Queens, as we spend time at home ourselves. We hope that we can all draw inspiration from Armstrong's love for his neighborhood, his community, and New York, his adopted city."
