Suggestions for History Museum near New Orleans

Vivian W. • December 29, 2019A really thorough and thoughtfully put together exhibit. Must do when you are in New Orleans. Take your time to look through everything.

Wayne A. • June 24, 2018Must see. Great air power planes of WW2. Huge space with many hanging in a hangar

Sher • February 19, 2017This is the best museum I've ever seen. I love turn of the century history and the antiques were beautiful. Medical history was fascinating.

Mark L. • September 14, 2019Free, beautiful, informative, air conditioned, immaculately clean bathroom. What more could you possibly want?

Randy R. • April 13, 2013Great venue for close intimate Irish music. This is troubadour and story teller Rickey Pittman

Laur L. • July 16, 2017Public rest area and a little museum. I think they also offer free parking. I would recommend for those taking Tours in this part of the city.

Whitney R. • May 19, 2013Awesome Music and History!

Andrew C. • July 9, 2018Awesome exhibits on Katrina impact and Mardi Gras history... much larger than expected, be ready to take about 90 min or more to get thru both floors (especially if ya read each poster/artifact)!+

Lee S. • January 4, 2017Small but awesome. Cool little bit of NOLA history.

Trina R. • August 6, 2015Hurricane Katrina section is amazing, raw, and will make you definitely appreciate this city so much more.

Duncan M. • May 16, 2019Great museum and excellent exhibit

Tanya • August 30, 2013Tour was great, beautiful house! But NOT an example of stereotypical French architecture in the French quarter.

Xiaoyu • December 31, 2015If you are new to jazz, this place is a must visit.

Bryan D. • December 9, 2012Cheek out the live music venue upstairs. Local legends hold court here during the day.

edisonv 😜 • May 6, 2021Top-notch presentation of Louisiana & New Orleans history⚜️. Get a discount if you do the other museums.👍

Mac S. • December 31, 2013Excellent place. Price reasonable. No guided tour, a quick 10 min interesting movie and then browse the colletiom - which is vast. Great gifts.

Sarah-Elizabeth G. • August 15, 2019Cool building and the exhibits are neat as well, especially the exhibit on the history of the building! Also the Louis Prima exhibit is pretty amazing...the monkey king from Jungle Book...who knew?!

Kelly S. • August 28, 2011Take the guided walking tour-ask questions! The museum is good, but the real treasure was the tour guide. He was so interesting and informative; one of my favorite parts of my trip!
