Description
Two of the McMurray sisters used to say that they'd be a shoo-in to win on the television show "I've Got a Secret." No one would guess their secret: They were born in a museum. Helen McMurray Newell and Mabel McMurray Engelhardt lived with their parents, two older sisters and a brother in an apartment below the great hall of what is today the New Orleans Museum of Art, then known as the Delgado Museum, from the time they were born, 1916 and 1917, respectively, until 1918.
