Where is RiverSphere?
 
RiverSphere is slated for an eight-acre site on the banks of the Mississippi River in downtown New Orleans, Louisiana, USA (90o West, 30o North). The site is located about one mile upriver from the French Quarter and 1-2 miles from Tulane University’s downtown and uptown campuses, respectively.
 
 
RiverSphere, a place to study rivers, is optimally suited for this site because the Mississippi is North America’s greatest river, and because New Orleans was established to take advantage of the strategic artery as it approaches the Gulf of Mexico, 95 miles downriver.
