Thankfully the Walter Anderson Museum survived Hurricane Katrina with only minor damages.
From their website:
September 12 - The Museum sustained no major structural damage and there was no water intrusion. While we have not yet done a full assessment of the building and grounds, things look good overall. In preparation for the storm, the staff moved the entire collection into the Museum's interior vault and there was no damage to the art. Some small roof leaks and air conditioning system problems are being investigated. Despite damage to their own homes, museum staff members have been on the job and working with the family of Walter Anderson to preserve family-owned works that were damaged during the storm. Conservation work is also being done on the Museum's collection of linoleum blocks that were stored in a remote facility that was flooded.
We will resume normal operations as soon as possible, perhaps within one month...
