The Tour & Education Department of the New Orleans Pharmacy Museum

GRACE KENNEDY

Grace joined the New Orleans Pharmacy Museum in 2023 as the head of the Tour & Education Department. As the Museum’s guided and specialty tour programs expand, Grace has prioritized bringing the NOPM collection to life through engaging visitors in lively conversations and new ways of experiencing the Pharmacy Museum. On the guided tour, Grace invites guests to step back in time and consider how the NOPM’s collection reveals keys to understanding the strange reality of 19th century life.

A member of the New Orleans Pharmacy Museum team since 2011, Owen considers himself to be an apprentice to both New Orleans and ghosts. Each of these help to guide his work as a historian, storyteller and healthcare advocate. Owen works in public health at Crescentcare while continuing to connect with the rich medical history of the city through guided tours and the annual Spirited Salon at the New Orleans Pharmacy Museum.
