In this historic image, a scene from the Carville, Louisiana Leprosarium's annual Nativity play was depicted. The hospital's production was sponsored by the Sisters of Charity, and all the actors were patients staying at the facility.The National Hansen's Disease Museum's (NHDM) mission is to collect, preserve and interpret the medical and cultural artifacts of the Carville Historic District. In addition, we want to promote the understanding, identification, and treatment of Hansen's Disease (leprosy). We fulfill this mission by creating and maintaining museum displays, traveling exhibits, publications and a website in order to educate and inform the public on all levels.
