Rather short tour but only 2.40 (if you do all 3 LA State Museum Tours you get 20% off each tour). Interesting look into the past. House obviously dates back to 1850 and furshings are from that time. Neat house. Would recommend for all ages.
Nothing spectacular to be seen here but for $3.00, it was OK. We definitely wouldn't have paid more. Very small limited self guided tour.
See what it was like to live in the 1850s New Orleans. One of the earliest apartment homes (Townhouse) style in the USA. The house if filled with period antiques made by local furniture makers. A true glimpse into the past. One can buy a pass to this museum or a ticket to go to the other Louisiana State Museum located just across Jackson Square. One is the building where the LA Purchase was signed and the other is now home of the Mardi Gras Museum.
We accidentally stumbled upon this boy were we glad we did! An entire floor dedicated to Hurricane Katrina filled with displays, personal stories, footage etc I could have stayed there all day. The display on Katrina was just amazing, they did such a great job. Upstairs was a floor dedicated to the Mardi Gras history and such, and that too was really well put together, but for me, the stand out was the Katrina display. It's one thing to see it on the news, but to see it displayed this way, up close, really hit home on what the good people of New Orleans went through when Hurricane Katrina hit. Just heart breaking.
right in french quater and less than two hours you can see it all which makes it very easy. We enjoyed the mostly hurricane Katrina displays and videos, and didn't spend much time in the mardi gras exhibit.
