Fats Domino’s Flood-Damaged Piano is Going On Display in New Orleans


A white Steinway grand piano salvaged from musician Fats Domino’s home after Hurricane Katrina has had its classic looks restored and will be the centerpiece of an exhibit in New Orleans’ French Quarter.

The piano was damaged after water poured through a broken levee during the August 2005 storm, flooding Domino’s home in the Lower 9th Ward.

It will be part of the Louisiana State Museum’s music exhibition opening in 2014 but separately will go on display at the Mint in June.
