New Orleans Historic Voodoo Museum

We ducked inside to get out of the rain and at first glance thought it was just a trinket shop. However, it's actually a really intricate and educational museum explaining the history of voodoo. It's worth the cover charge if you're interested.

Decided to pay a quick visit, and that is all it was worth. A very small and quick visit. Self guided with reliance on two small rooms and a hallway of some artifacts and associated narrative to support. Educational to a degree but still left lingering questions. An example is voodoo dolls which are not in any shape meant to inflict harm or be a negative. The dolls were used as a form of communication between the “healer” and the patient. The dolls used to pinpoint the area of pain etc. Articles and alike of the person were used to identify whose doll was the person with associated ailments. It has been the media which morphed the culture with it being evil. If a rainy day you may want to blow 1/2 an hour and visit, but there are better attractions in and around the French Quarter to do.

The New Orleans Historic Voodoo Museum is probably pretty interesting if you actually have a strong fascination with voodoo, but overall it’s just a giant scam. It’s a fairly small museum with two rooms jam packed with old voodoo artwork, masks, symbols, instruments, dolls, and other artifacts. There are plenty of signs giving information about the artifacts. Most of the culture has a large African influence. There’s a lot of idolatry dedicated to various spirits and voodoo queens. Under various statues of gods, there are signs asking for money so that the god can bless you. Money is everywhere on every shelf by these images. It’s sad to see people actually falling for this nonsense and throwing their money away. There are much better places in New Orleans to spend your time and money unless you have a strong interest in Voodoo.

It was only $10 to enter. The museum consists of two rooms filled with items depicting voodoo alters and old things that look of replicas found at Pier 1. Descriptions of items were either typed or handwritten so prepare for a lot of reading. It would be nice if they offered brief guided group tours giving more insight into the alters and saints being displayed. It had a small gift shop where you could purchase gris-gris bags and other little jewelry and finds, that was cute. The woman at the front desk was very knowledgeable about juju and spells. When in New Orleans I suppose it's a must see but no need to plan longer than 30 minutes. Side note... There were many alters where you could make an offering. I was impressed that no one was trying to steal the money, I guess that would be bad juju.

Very informative museum. Was greeted by a lovely lady up front and made our way back. It's very small but packed to the brim with displays and information.

Was good, enjoyed the artifacts shop was displaying and selling. staff were not hard selling anything cept access to the Museum which could have been bigger but for $10 I was happy

This is a small but mighty museum. There are several altars available. It explores much of the native history of voodoo and such. Fascinating and educational. Small gift shop. Worth the money and time to check it out.

Beautiful museum with lots of artifacts & in depth information posted everywhere - very moving to see the voodoo/hoodoo practices preserves throughout history by it's practitioner's. The museum itself is small! So if your claustrophobic you have been warned ! Well worth the visit & u could spend up to an hour in there really reading and looking over all they have, staff is super friendly too

It's a short visit but it's centrally located in the French Quarter and only $10 per person for admission. It's a small museum and you'll only spend about half an hour in there tops -- I'm a big "read everything" person and that's how long we stayed. It's definitely more artifacts from around the world and from New Orleans, rather than a holistic history lesson you'd find in a traditional museum. At the price I couldn't be mad, though. I still think it's worth the stop if you're strolling the French Quarter.

The Voodoo Museum offers perspective on West African traditions traveling to New Orleans and blending with the local French-Spanish-American cultures to become modern voodoo. The museum emphasizes that, unlike in movies, voodoo should be used for good, like bringing wealth rather than pain to the voodoo doll targets. You can read about several local key players, such as Marie Laveau who lived and died in NOLA in the 1800s. The museum has maps, masks, voodoo dolls, and more. Several of the artifacts have short descriptions (in English only) but not everything is well-labeled. One of the more shocking things was a mummified black cat. The space is rather small with a bit of a chaotic layout, but I'm glad the museum is working to preserve and show off voodoo. If more than 10 people are in the museum, you'll be rather crowded sneaking around each other. With all of the other opportunities for fun in NOLA, I wouldn't necessarily recommend this place as a priority. For the $10 price, I was hoping for a solid hour of learning/entertainment but found it to be shorter. If you have an hour or less of down time in the area or need an AC break, check it out! Or if you need something spooky like skeleton earrings from the gift shop, you can shop without paying to fully enter the museum. The staff was really kind.

Awesome place with a great atmosphere. Really help help you understand. Understand the voodoo culture.

This is a very fun stop when you're visiting. This is a self guided tour through a very small and unique odd voodoo museum. We learned a lot. But again, it's small. It costs $10 per person and it goes toward maintaining the museum. Go in with low expectations and you won't be disappointed. You can buy some fun things here as well, including voodoo dolls.

This was a fun little museum trip a bit off the beaten path. If you are down in Jackson Square visiting the original Cafe du Monde or the St. Louis Cathedral, the Voodoo Museum is just a few blocks away. Sort of hard to find and really not among a lot of other attractions, but worth looking for if you'd like to learn a bit about voodoo. When you enter you can have a guided tour (which means someone will explain the artifacts that you will see in the three rooms of the museum), or a self-guided tour where you just wander through the rooms. We chose the self-guided tour and it was fine. You can hurry up or take your time in looking at the hundreds of voodoo artifacts. Whether you believe in voodoo or not, it was interesting to see some of the voodoo history associated with New Orleans. In the museum, you'll see the requisite items from voodoo lore: pictures, newspaper replicas, dolls, skulls, many holy items, and the like. You can leave offerings of coins or dollars on many items, and you'll see many items with small piles of money attached. It was fun learning a little about the voodoo culture. Now you certainly won't mistake this little Voodoo Museum for a facility like the World War II Museum, but it remains a fun side trip of all the offerings in New Orleans because it contains stuff you won't find elsewhere. And you can also get a reading from someone on staff in a small closet on the side, so what's not to like?

The only thing this place is good for is getting a break from the heat. It's only two small rooms of things and a small closet like area to sit with someone to get a reading. The tickets are $10 for adults and I think $6 for students. If this museum is on your list of places to visit, take it off!

When I had learned that there was a a voodoo museum in New Orleans, I knew I had to take a tour. I looked online and learned that no reservations or advance tickets were necessary. We decided to stop by when heading out for some other events nearby. When we were arrived, we were quickly greeted by the person working there. Tickets were $10 each. The tour is self-lead, and there are lots of stories posted along with each artifact. The museum is small, with only two rooms. It looked as though it hadn't been changed in years, as the papers with text were a bit yellowed and wrinkled. I enjoyed reading the stories and learning about the voodoo history in New Orleans. I, however, felt that it was so small that it is more of a quick stop on the way somewhere else, rather than a destination on its own. It also could probably use an update. With a bit of effort and creativity, I think it could be made into something much greater. On our way out, we stopped at the small shop. I liked the shop and purchased two voodoo dolls. The voodoo dolls there were much nicer and more original than the ones sold in the souvenir shops, though they did seem a bit overpriced. I can't be certain, but they appeared handmade. My friend also purchased some jewelry that she liked. There is a small room just off the gift shop that looks like it is used for psychic readings or seances. All in all, stop by for some interesting history, but it's best not to plan on spending a long time.

The museum itself presents itself as a lot of junk. We were on a tour and it help provide some clarity to what you are looking at, and provided some perspective of what voodoo was and was not, but we were hoping to learn a more holistic view of how it came to be, maybe differences in cultures, how it is practiced today, etc. After a very long hour, we left the museum and walked to the Louis Armstrong Park and the tour continued as basically a high level history of New Orleans, some architecture, and a review of the statutes in the park.

If you're expecting a large museum, this is not the one! However, it is filled with a lot of historic finds and fun information regarding voodoo and other Mystic powers. If you take your time to read and really look at all the items there you'll have an insightful time! It is super super small luckily when we went, it wasn't crowded . We spent about 30-35 mins there. We enjoyed our visit there.

For ten dollars; you're gonna get the history of voodoo but you get three small spaces to learn about it. Do I think it's worth it? yes because there was so much information to grasp with what you paid for.

I definitely came here spontaneously because we were walking around and thought this looked interesting. It's $10 but it should have been like $5-8. There are like two rooms and the hallway, filled with an assortment of artifacts, paintings, sculptures, etc. It was very crowded as there wasn't a limit on how many people could go in at once. Someone said you can spend 1-2 hrs here, yeah that's false. Honestly, you can plan to spend 15-20 mins max. Maybe 30 mins but that's stretching it. 1 hr or more then I just don't know what you're looking at. I didn't know there was a tour but from other reviews, it sounded mediocre.

The museum is nothing like it was back in my undergrad years. I learned so much about Black/African History and the importance of the Haitian Revolution. I know with time things change but the rebranding ain't it. I also found a lot of inaccuracies with the Orisha they have displayed. It's doesn't align with the teachings of my actual born and raised Yoruba Oluko's and with Ifa teachings I have learned throughout my time. There's also a mix of different traditions it's not focused on the unique and layered teachings and culture of what New Orleans Voodoo truly is what was created during the slavery. I was excited to take others there telling them about how it was and it the turning out to be the total opposite. Change isn't always good.

I expected more based on other reviews and price. Some of the artifacts were cheap resin items. It was only two rooms.

As someone who is not entirely familiar with Hoodoo or Voodoo, I really wanted to come to a place where I could really immerse myself and be able to learn about it. This is a two room self guided museum with lots of visual and descriptions. I loved that the museum explains origins from Africa from South America, and how it's influenced of what we now know as Voodoo. I felt that I spent more time in the first room. It was great to see the setup and all the artifacts collected. I highly recommend coming to this museum if you're looking to get more information on Voodoo.

Would not waste time. Its two rooms and took us ten minutes to go through. Can not believe it's so high up on things to do in New Orleans.

Was in New Orleans recently onto business, and I took this trip because some of the people is with we're not from the area and it was pretty subpar. Be frankly honest.. To top it off some historical lessons were actually incorrect and the college guide we had was not very experienced at public speaking. It was a letdown, and I went to high school out here in New Orleans, so I was familiar with the area. I could've given a better tour myself kind of if you don't know anything & your real easy to entertain, I'd see it otherwise go on your own getting tour guide or book or ask around.

Madame Cinnamon Black makes the whole experience. I just love her quirky personality and everything this museum has to offer. Some of the displays are a little bit dated, but who cares.....interesting information and I've always been intrigued by voodoo and hoodooo. Love the "snake test" and all the history and lore that comes along with the practice of voodoo. I think it is a misunderstood religion, but Madame had a sense of humor and she kept it real. Totally recommend paying this museum a visit. It's small and doable on a cold (unseasonably so!) and uncrowned (duly unseasonable) Tuesday afternoon in the Quarter.

I wasn't exactly sure what I was in for when we divided to take the walking tour. This tour was full of cultural information from the creation of voodoo/hoodoo and gave the true explanation of it. The tour dove deep into the roots of New Orleans and the silvers airy of cultures that mixed together to create what the locals refer to as Creole. I highly recommend this tour, even if you are not interested in voodoo because the experience and information that is provided give so much more.

The woman/practitioner that worked here was awesome. She was very friendly with the kids and stayed in character. She gave all the kids toys as they were leaving. The museum is kind of small and cluttered. They really tried to pack as much as they could in there. It consists of two full rooms of exhibits. There is a very gift shop up front that has voodoo nicknacks like voodoo dolls, mugs, cards, candles and potions. That is also where you buy your museum admission. You will see a room that they do readings in up there too. The museum has music playing to set the mood and some of the museum's exhibits include, voodoo dolls, the seven African Powers, masks, a voodoo alter, a Marie Laveau exhibit, practitioner's that have past, clothing, the history of Voodoo and magic mirrors. The museum does a great job explaining a lot of the traditions and equipment associated with Voodoo and its origins. This museum is located off of the far end of Bourbon street and there is nearby metered street parking available. They do not have a bathroom and direct guest that need to use the bathroom to New Orleans Poboy's. I guess they have a deal with them or something. Where you are a believer in VooDoo or not, this is a nice and unique place to visit. The have the friendliest staff and they stay in their character. I was skeptical at first and went in with an open mind. Millions of people go see a golly fat guy every year that may or may not be real, so this place is not different. Take it as it is and not try to read much into it or dispel it. It is definitely a place worth checking out and I recommend it.

We didn't know what to expect but wanted to see some kind of voodoo experience. This is a very cramped "museum". It's the size of two bedrooms of a house. It's got a few interesting things to look at. Would I call it a must see? No. If you're in the area with time to kill? Maybe. It's just a tourist trap which got us.

I wasn't too sure on what to expect when coming here. Would I do it again? Probably not. Admissions per person is $10, which isn't terrible, but I do not think this is a "must see". The museum itself consists of two rooms and a hallway, and it's pretty small. There were not a lot of people in the museum, when a friend and I went, but we were still bumping elbows with the people who were near us. The information listed near the artifacts is very cool, I will say. I never knew much about voodoo or hoodoo but I can say I learned a little bit about the culture by walking though the small museum.

I stopped here hoping to learn about voodoo as it's such a prominent thing in history. This place is very small so it's not ideal to go during a time where a lot of people are in town. I did like seeing all the different kind of artifacts and seeing some history. I was able to learn some but due to the mass of people, I couldn't take my time reading it all. Overall I'm glad I went, but I wish there could have been more to it.

Waste of money and waste of time. Do not recommend. Basically walking around and reading things on walls in a cramped space with other tourists. Would be so much better with a guide to highlight some of the history but they're more interested in selling you trinkets.

We did the self guided tour for $10 and it was good. You learn about the history of Voodoo, see different artifacts, paintings and learn about the practice. It's a very small museum with only a couple of rooms. You'll be able to make a request to madam Laveau in one of the rooms. A nice experience for the price.

I've been to New Orleans many times and this is still my favorite place to visit. My oldest son just graduated high school a week or so ago so we decided it was time to bring the children to NOLA. I finished college in P'Cola and my wife and I lived in the Florida Panhandle for a while after that. New Orleans was our once a month trip for many months during that time. Now 20 years later after our last visit we returned to New Orleans. My wife and I always loved this visit to the museum but we did something we never did before. We took a tour of the museum along with a VIP tour of the Voodoo of the French Quarter with Master tour guide Mr. New Orleans Nate. It was my favorite tour of the week and maybe the best tour we ever took anywhere. There is a reason Nate rhymes with great!!! We had our group of 5 and there was a family of 3 in the tour with us. NOLA NATE was not only a gifted speaker that kept everyone totally engaged in his presentation but he had a world of knowledge of all things voodoo in New Orleans. Take this tour and you will be entertained as well as educated. Mr. New Orleans Nate did a great job showing us and explaining pieces in the museum. I learned more on this tour about the museum than I did from the 10+ times we entered the museum on a self guided tour 20 years ago. Going back was great. We still remembered were items were placed years ago compared to where they are today. After leaving the museum the tour group walked to the property that it is believed to be where Marie Lavoue lived and raised her children. Along the way we were told stories about NOLA and Voodoo that kept my high school age children completley engaged and interested in learning while being completley entertained. Since St. Louis cemetary has been closed to all tour companies except their own we were given a tour of Congo Square where the voodoo religion was practiced on Sundays after going to Catholic Church. After the tour ended in Congo Square my family stayed and spoke with Mr. New Orleans Nate for about 10 minutes while my kids asked questions to learn more about what life was like many years ago. He was the best tour guide we've had in New Orleans or other places we've visited around the world. If you go to NOLA, please take this tour with your high school age children or with just adults. It will be the highlight of your stay. #1 tour in New Orleans. You will have memories that will last for years and they have an inexpensive gift shop to help get your friends back home a taste of what NOLA has to offer! Also, THANK YOU New Orleans Nate for the great tour and thank you for the extra time you spent discussing New Orleans Voodoo and history with us in Congo Square after the tour ended!

$10 entry fee I didn't expect it to only be a 2 room museum lol There's a hallway and two small rooms but they were packed with a lot of objects and reading material. But honestly, I was disappointed. If you're claustrophobic, I would not recommend.

Is it a must see? Hmm probably not but for $10, it is a small place where you read up brief history of voodoo. There is a choice for a guided tour. I don't know will it make that big of a difference or is it worth the extra $$$. I believe it is $30-36 for a guided tour. The highlight is the lady at the front desk/cashier. She is a real trip. I love her. She is dramatic and funny. If you have an extra 20-30minutes and you're in the area, it is worth the $10. It isn't anything you have to see.

I wish it was a bigger museum! There are so many cool things in there and the information is really educational. I want to know more! Some of the information cards are posted a bit too high to see or the font is printed too small. Those are my only complaints but other than that, the museum was really cool and I felt like I learned a lot.

Yes, it's small and, yes, I'd recommend a visit to this museum. The rooms may be small but there is a lot to look at and read. My favorite part was being invited to write down a wish. We got more out of this than I expected.

A friend of mine wanted me to bring her back a souvenir related to Voodoo. As it was part of the NOLA history and culture, I also wanted to learn more about the subject matter via immersing myself in a museum~! I chose this location specifically because it was away from Bourbon St and seemed more credible than others in the area. It could be again be because it was away from the touristy Bourbon St. The admission fee was $10 per person and they do accept card. There were five other people before me that had already entered. The lady at the register was kind and welcoming. She ushered us through the entrance of the exhibit and stated that it was self-guided tour. This museum had two rooms connected by a short skinny hallway. The walls were covered with artifacts and information regarding each display. The information did not seem linear and felt as if they were all over the place. The displays were also covered with offerings, which I can only guess were majority from tourists who come through this place. I would have spent more time reading the descriptions and studying the paintings and artifacts if there weren't for feeling as if I'm keeping others waiting. It felt as if we were on top of each other in each room. Overall, I did learn about the origins of Voodoo in NOLA, the important figures in Voodoo history and culture, as well as its presence in pop culture and celebrities. I even learned more about voodoo dolls, which dispelled some of the stuff I gathered from TV shows. I would go back again if my friends wanted to check the museum out the next time I'm in the area. I would recommend to others keeping an open mind and look at the information more objectively, as if you're a historian or that you're writing an informative report regarding the subject.

It is a small 3 room self-guided tour with lots of voodoo artifacts from all over the world. Marie Laveau is the highlight of this tour the infamous voodoo lady from New Orleans, if you've seen Disney's Princess and The Frog you now know the feminspiration behind it. Wish we had time for cemetery tour, sounded great and was highly recommended from some people we'd met at our hotel. Now despite this museum only being three rooms. This place was packed from floor to ceiling with artifacts with placement cards and tons of reading information so if you have the time take the time to read it and the tour will not be short as other suggest. You can not miss this place if you want the real history of N.O.

Very small for the entry price ($10), there is a lot of information and neat exhibits however there are only 2 rooms so it gets crowded very quickly. You can take pictures here which is nice because several of the museums I've been to do not allow that.

As of Dec 2020, they completely did a make over on the museum. Its much cleaner, and a lot of the dust and junk is gone. Is it worth it to come here? Sure. The museum is small, and can teach you alot - if youre up for the reading. The staff is very easy to talk to and ask questions. Overall, its a fun stop on your tour route of French Quarter, for first timers. The store is really cool, but pretty expensive. I like that theres a lot of locally made items in here. Bring something to leave behind for the spirits.

Very interesting museum. Lots to learn. Small and quant but full of knowledge. Glad I stopped in to learn about voodoo.

I had been to New Orleans once in high school (2017) and the museum looked completely different than how it does now. It was still small back then but it felt more authentic. The woman (I'm assuming is the owner) is very rude and everything in the gift shop is extremely overpriced! (A sterling silver/amber necklace DOES NOT cost $75)

Very small museum. It's 2 rooms and a hallway. It was low price which made it worth going through. I found it to be pretty interesting, though I was expecting something more. But in terms of getting what you paid for, I think it was fair.

After reading all the reviews, I noticed that all the good ones were Yelpers who went on the tour, so that's what we did. Booked the 9am tour, which they asked for us to arrive 10-15 minutes early. Arrived to find one other couple waiting outside as time passed everything was still closed up. A minute or 2 before 9 someone comes walking up, I guess the main person that opens up was running late that day. Our guide New Orleans Nate was our guide for the day. He used to work at the museum, but his wife still does & is usually the one giving the tours. However he still an actual tour guide & pretty well known with the other tour guides & people in the community. We started out in the voodoo museum, which yes as everyone said is just 2 rooms. Nate explained every shrine in there & the artifacts on the walls in the hallway. We exited the museum to move onto Marie Laveau's house & the St.Louis Cemetery No.1 where she is buried. This cemetery is no longer open to the public. It is more like a tourist attraction, so it didn't give off the eerie vibes I was expecting as compared to some of the others we saw in the area. Nate was great & I'm so glad he was our tour guide. He was so thorough with lots of stories & just knowledge of the city & no one really had any questions for him. He even asked why none of us barely had any questions for him, but it was because he was that good. Our 2 hour tour turned into a 3-3.5 hour one as he wanted to give us the deluxe version for being late that day. Thank you Nate.

Maybe this place is really more for the true practitioners of voodoo, I don't know but we all felt it was a waste. They charge us $7 per person for a self guided "tour" of the museum. It's two tiny rooms and a hallway. It's a tight space made tighter by the overflowing piles of offerings, you have to squeeze past people going in and out. Everything in the space was dirty and some signs I couldn't even read. There was a lot going on but you just couldn't take it in and the information cards were sometimes handwritten or just had so much info jammed on them that you don't read half of it, then put in a sheet protector and tacked to the wall. In terms of what I think of as a museum, this isn't one. It's a bit of a mess and while I learned a couple things, it wasn't as interesting as I thought. People seemed to be encouraged to leave offerings of whatever they have on them (cash, coins, chapstick, beads, etc) and its a little crazy. They offer small voodoo related items to buy at the entry. But I would skip this trap.

This was a tiny two room .. I don't even know what to call it, but certainly not what I think of when I hear "museum". It was interesting to see the alters with all the offerings, but one of them specifically said to leave money, which seemed like a crappy way to take advantage of tourists. The hallway between the entrance and the "museum" was so narrow that if people needed to pass, both had to turn and squeeze by parallel to the wall. I feel like this was someone's house, especially how tiny it was. They do a small discount if you have a student ID. She applied the discount to me and my friend and didn't care to even look at her (nonexistent) student ID. Wouldn't recommend.

It was interesting, but over priced for what it is. It was super tiny, and a lot of the typed explanations were wrinkled and poorly made.

Ms. Cinnamon was charming, informative, and gracious. We so enjoyed our time in this beautiful, eclectic museum. She provided great commentary on the pieces and really brought this important cultural (well appointed and curated!) museum to life. Thank you for being a delightful part of our NOLA experience and for helping make our first romantic adventure magical.

If you want to get a little education & a little creepy vibe you should visit here! There is so much history and details that went into this small museum it definitely gave me the heebie-jeebies but it also educated me about some things especially myths and facts that have been spread around in the world.

Def worth the stop in if you're around. There was an older gentleman who is such a doll... he gives grandpa witch energy. The other woman who was there could not be bothered to be there, or to communicate in the slightest. **not madame Cinnamon Black who I've heard is awesome** the museum had cool artifacts, nothing crazy but awesome gifts. Go because you're in New Orleans it's worth the $10

The Voodoo Museum was tiny, yet very interesting. Upon arriving, I noticed that the main entrance was tight and congested . It costs 8 dollars per person for admission. Students and senior citizen receive a discounted price. The lady at the front desk was not welcoming at all. The museum itself is only 2 rooms. It is unkempt and dirty looking. So please don't expect anything fancy. The artifacts all consist of old voodoo statues , pictures, etc. I had fun taking pictures, but I feel that this museum was not worth the money.

Not what I thought it would be. When you hear the word museum you think multiple rooms with lost of stuff behind glass and notes explaining said stuff. This has two small rooms and a hall. Note cards were lacking so if you didn't already know about voodoo you would be very confused on what the things are used for. Especially the herbs and such. What they did have on display was nice and you are allowed to take pictures. Overall if they would cut the price in half it would be worth it but as is I feel it's a bit overcharged for what there is to see.

Definitely a must when visiting. We were fortunate enough to have New Orleans Nate as our tour guide. Not only was he very informative but he kept our tour light and funny. Before I knew it we were at the end of the tour. Highly recommend for anyone looking to learn about vudu and it's rich history

Not worth the money ($10) or the time. This place seems like a makeshift museum, more akin to an adult diorama than an official museum. Very cramped and small - the whole thing is a narrow hallway and two rooms. A fair amount of the content seemed to center around the founders / starters of the museum. If you didn't happen to read a placard with the information about those people first, you were kind of left going "uh, okay, they make a big deal about how Voodoo Charlie made this item. Who is that? Why is he important?" Some of the items had no explanation of what they were, others had long rambling page-long typed placards next to them. On the plus side, it's clear that the people who started and are running the place care a lot about voodoo and the history - I just wish it came with a higher quality space and display.

My wife and I were tossing around a few different museums to attend today and ultimately Voodoo won out just for the novelty of it. I wish it hadn't because we planned our day around this museum and were surprised to find that the entire museum consists of two rooms and a hallway. The artifacts are quite interesting but the plaques don't really speak to the traditions nor do they paint a very complete picture of how Voodooism evolved. It only took about 10 minutes to maneuver around the rooms and then we were back out on the street $14 dollars poorer. Ultimately I'm glad it moved quickly so that we could get on with our day, but also felt like this place was a waste of money.

The tour was great! We had a group of 6 and everyone shared they enjoyed this tour and learned so much not only about Voodoo, but also the culture and history of New Orleans. Our guide was fantastic!
