The Louis Armstrong Museum
in Corona has launched
a new digital guide that will
feature photos, audio and video
that give a glimpse into the
offstage life of the legendary
musician, Louis “Satchmo”
Armstrong.
Members and new audiences
can learn more about
the jazz musician by accessing
the Bloomberg Connects
app, which is a free cultural
app created by Bloomberg Philanthropies.
It is available for
download from Google Play or
the App Store.
“We are thrilled to join the
outstanding museum community
curated by Bloomberg
Philanthropies,” said Regina
Bain, executive director of the
Louis Armstrong House Museum.
“Through Bloomberg’s
support, cultural institutions
in New York and around the
world can now share rare
items with both our members
and with new audiences. In
addition to being an incredible
musician, Louis Armstrong
was an early adopter
of new technology. He would
love that our small but mighty
house museum was selected to
join this early cohort of museum
excellence.”
Ricky Riccardi, director
of Research Collections at
LAHM, said the LAHM page
on the Bloomberg Connects
app is a dream come true for
any fan of the “great Satchmo.”
“If you’ve already taken
the tour of the Armstrong
House, you’ll be able to take a
deeper dive into both the museum
and our monumental
archives to learn more about
Armstrong’s offstage life.
And if you’ve never been to
the Armstrong House, a few
minutes on the Bloomberg
Connects app will have you
planning your next visit to
Queens in a moment’s notice,”
Riccardi said. “It’s such an exciting

opportunity to be able
to share these treasures with
Armstrong fans from around
the world and we’re thankful
to Bloomberg Philanthropies
for making it possible.”
The Louis Armstrong
House Museum, located at 34-
56 107th St., sustains and promotes
the cultural, historical
and humanitarian legacy of
Armstrong, who was an artist
and innovator. It provides access
to the extensive archives,
developing programs for the
public, and engaging contemporary
artists to create new
works.
What was once Louis and
Lucille Armstrong’s private
home — a New York City and
national historic landmark —
is now a museum open yearround.
LAHM is in the midst of
an exciting physical and programmatic
expansion, bolstered
by the new Louis Armstrong
Center, across from
the historic house in Corona.

The center will house a 75-
seat performance venue and
will become the new location
of the Louis Armstrong Archives,
the largest of any jazz
musician.
The center is scheduled to
be completed this spring, and
will host a state-of-the-art
exhibition curated by awardwinning
jazz pianist Jason
Moran.
The Armstrong Corona
campus will become a Queensbased
hub for inspiration and
learning, economic development
and tourism. For local
neighbors, as well as national
and international visitors, the
new campus will permanently
establish Armstrong’s legacy
as one of the most influential
figures in American and global
history.
