New Orleans Museums

We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend to anyone traveling to New Orleans. Due to our own time restraints, we missed the movie. Amazing look at behind the scenes activity and opportunity to take memorable pictures.

A really fun place to visit. Your ticket is a string of Mardi Gras beads. They give you king cake to eat while watching a film in the beginning. Then you get to see prop some floats up close and personal. If you’re lucky… You will also get to see some of the workers creating and/or painting future props and floats.

This was a great way to learn more about and experience Mardi Gras with kids. We have a whole new appreciation for the floats and for New Orlean’s celebrations!

best museum ever!! fantastic!!

I absolutely love the museum there was so many artifacts and things to look at, however trip shock tickets are misleading we bought the ticket that said that we could do the movie in the museum however when we got there they said that that ticket only got us general admission.

WWII museum is so good for people who like history

The tour was amazing, the tour guide was super friendly and he was very knowledgable about the property and the vast history of the home. He made it fun and enjoyable for everyone in the group!

This was my second time visiting Houmas House and it was even better than the last! We decided to start with lunch first at Cafe Burnside and omg it was incredible. The buffet is worth every single penny! The fried catfish was literally the best I've ever had and the bread pudding should have some kind of award! After we stuffed ourselves silly, we met up with our tour guide, Suzanna. She rang the bell and started our tour off with a bang! When you enter the house, it's like hearing that "AAAAAaaaaaaAHHHHHH" theme music. It's so gorgeous inside. I love all the stories that are told about the home and its' antiques, art and artifacts. Esp the vampire slayer kit from anne rice! This home is handicap accessible as well as are the grounds. The grounds actually remind me of a botanical garden. Go check this place out and ask for Suzanna as your tour guide, you won't be disappointed!

Our tour guide was awesome. I think her name was Sue Ellen, Bobby Sue, or something like that. Super knowledgable, super friendly, made the whole experience come to life for my wife and i. Thank you for a great experience.

It was nice to learn about Degas’ ties with New Orleans, and also see the room which hosted him during his time in Louisiana. There was a little too much focus on his brother’s infidelity; we would have preferred to learn more about the paintings he did here and a more detailed analysis of the letters or other first hand documents in which Degas described his time in NOLA.

As an art lover, I knew I needed to do this tour. Degas' great niece, Joanie, did a superb job of filling me in on the facts surrounding the artist's visit, his motivations for his various styles and subjects and some intriguing stories of family history. All helped orient me to the history, economies and cultural influences of NOLA in a fascinating way. My favorite tour by far! Thanks Joanie!

They had me at "original artifacts." I love anything to do with ancestry, heritage, history of any city. Plus, scenery was gorgeous. We went last week of September and it was very humid/hot. Grey Line Tours offered a complimentary beverage [I recommend the mint julep].
