Owner/operator of this small museum is a musical historian! He uses photos, artwork to talk about the beginnings of jazz and the various instruments used throughout history. Rooms are small but no one cares as the gentleman is so interesting. He starts from Egypt all the way to the present. Fascinating hour to spend. He plays snippets of taped music too bring his stories to life. Worth a trip

This museum is a hidden gem! It’s a very warm and welcoming feeling when you go inside. It feels like you’re entering a living room with a lot of history. The host is so kind and knows so much about the history and also is very known in New orleans. You were allowed to ask anything. It’s another museum experience, but definitely one where I learned more than in any other big museum! Really a must go if you’re into culture and music.

This was the highlight of our trip to New Orleans! My son is a budding jazz musician and he was enthralled by the memorabilia and Mr. Al's presentation. I honestly feel he has managed to house the soul of the city in those walls!
