Had a party here and it was very nice. Go outside and enjoy the river belle vue.
Something different that you can't see anywhere else. Very cool place, with free king cake at the end of the tour.
Completely worth it. But prepare yourself. Parking is $10!
The place is small and not very organized. But there are lots of beautiful pictures and paintings and talking to Mr. Lewis, the curator, is a delight.
very interesting museum. a bit off the street, so keep your eye out for it.
Ronald Lewis is a treasure-trove of NOLA history, esp. about the Lower 9th & Mardi Gras traditions. You NEED to visit if you want to meet a real NOLA gem! He tells his life story in the book "9 Lives"
Fun place to kill some time and learn about southern food culture over the years
YAAAS this museum is all about food, and some drinks - full of local artifacts, history, and items from each Southern state!!! You're allowed to buy drinks from attached bar and walk around the space!
strolling through wnderful decorative arts collections and many more. cafe noma on first floor is wonderful, too. both interior and the food!!
There's a secret room behind a fake wall on the 1st floor where you can see the original building exterior from before the expansion. It's also where they keep people who go looking for this room.
The Museum of Art is the city’s oldest fine arts institution. It houses over 40,000 objects as part of its permanent collection. Don’t miss the Syndney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden next door.
Beautiful historic mansion in New Orleans. Worth a trip there if you haven’t seen it, when in NOLA.
The guided tour was fantastic. Downside, not wheelchair accessible but our guide, Gloria, carried a light chair from room to room to allow my mother to sit during the tour and there is an elevator.
Beautiful but $$$$ fees for everything and the place is an unkept mess. This is an expensive destination that has minimal upkeep and looks to be too much for their team. Cost & value vs aesthetic? No!
The cricket banana fritters are delicious. Be brave and try one
Can't take pocket knives or guns in. So leave in the car or hotel.
Make sure to sample the free bug cuisine in the back kitchen! About 1.5 hours max
Amazing collection and powerful film. Easily spend a day here seeing some pretty amazing stuff. Expect to read.
The museum opened its doors on June 6 2000, the 56th anniversary of D-Day. The museum is located here because this is where the "Higgins Boats", vital to D-Day operations were designed, built & tested
make sure to watch the movie, you won't be disappointed!
Amazing historical place, really interesting.
One of my friends had her wedding here. This is a beautiful place to have a wedding ceremony at.
Excellent stay! Friendly people , good food. We will be back!
extensive archive of mardi gras indian costumes, each one-of-a-kind handcrafted creations. a big undertaking of historical importance, museum could do with curatorial support from bigger institutions.
Treme happened here. The Backstreet Cultural Museum is filled with exhibits that reflect the unique cultural traditions explored in Treme.
Museum that tells the story of social cultures of New Orleans. They have many beautiful pictures and many Mardi Gras Indian suits on display. Check it out!
One of the highlights of our trip. The $5 "tour" (1pm on weekdays) is actually the most engaging and fun one hour history lesson you've ever seen, with props that are actual artifacts. Way worth it.
The museum includes cures for anything that ails you including voodoo potions & other weird medicines. The City of New Orleans operated the museum from 1950-1987, it's now run by a non profit org.
Very interesting, learn something new and check it out!
Must see. Great air power planes of WW2. Huge space with many hanging in a hangar
There's a B-17 hanging from the ceiling! Plus fighter aircraft from WWII. All in all, a great museum.
one of the newer buildings - The Final Mission is a must see
Visit here every Thursday evening for Ogden After Hours - great music, drinks, people and of course, art! :) Free for museum members. Support local non-profits!
The focus is on the visual arts & culture of the American South. By the 1990s, the Ogden Collection was recognized by art historians & collectors as one of the most significant of its kind in the US.
If you like arts, this is the place for you.
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
