Louis Armstrong is the best-known trumpet player and jazz musician of his time. His career spanned five decades, and he was inducted into the "Rhythm and Blues Hall of Fame" in 2017.

It's been turned into a museum where fans can explore how the jazz legend lived and even hear recordings never heard before.
