The Louis Armstrong House Museum & Archives preserves the legacy of Louis Armstrong as a museum and archive. It holds national and city landmark designations, underscoring its significance in American cultural history. Located in Corona, Queens, New York, the site is owned by the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs and administered by Queens College under a long-term license, and it is integrated with the Kupferberg Center for the Arts. The organization serves visitors and researchers seeking access to Armstrong's life and jazz history, and it participates in professional museum networks through affiliations with several associations. It operates with a relatively small staff and forms collaborative initiatives within the New York cultural landscape. In August 2024 the museum received the National Medal for Museums from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
