Question: How do you make a two room museum into an enjoyable two hour experience? Answer: Take the walking tour with Nate. He'll educate you, entertain you, and best of all enlighten you to the ways of Voodoo.

Some really cool stuff in here. And some really great gifts up front. I didn't know there was any truth to the American Horror series.

Nice little museum and shop if you want to learn a bit about voodoo history. Note that this is a very small museum and not necessarily a professional museum experience. Seems like something put together by a couple individuals that wanted to share more about the meaning behind Voodoo.

If you go in knowing what your expecting I think this is a good experience.

Amazingly interesting museum. I didn’t really know anything about voodoo culture before going in, but I left feeling like my eyes had been opened. I learned so much from the different exhibits and there is plenty of information to read and help understand it all. The museum is small, but packed with many different things.

Educational, fun, authentic layers in this one of a kind space. Lots to learn and observe and some genuinely unique objects loaded with significance. Terrific gift shop with locally made crafts. Touristy, but not in an obvious way. Singular vibe.

This is an excellent stop to learn the history of Voodoo and Hoodoo. It explains rituals, dolls, Doctors and Queens. The stories of the Voodoo influencers are enthralling. Soo many objects to look at and learn. The gift shop has books and souvenirs to take away to remember your day. Definitely worth the stop.

Such an Incredible little museum. I bought tickets on the spot, it wasn’t to busy but It’s tight quarters as you work your way through the rooms to be prepared. They have a great gift shop as you enter & exit for an whimsical needs/souvenir’s. I will definitely be back!!

Meh. It was okay. Very small and quite dark/dusty/dirty. Interesting stuff inside but the presentation is just a mess. Stuff everywhere. You bump into others. No space. Woman at the front desk was a little rude. May be just by nature, not sure. Gift shop was more gimmicky than authentic feeling. And quite expensive.
I learned a lot so I would recommend but just be prepared to not be wowed.

First the definition from PBS: Vodou originated in the ancient kingdom of Dahomey (present-day Nigeria, Benin, and Togo) and derives from the Fon word for "God" or "Spirit." Other accurate spellings include Vodun, Vodoun, but never voodoo, the sensationalist and derogatory Western creation.

This museum is neat and great place if you know anything about Vodou. It’s basically 2 rooms filled with artifacts. The lady who worked there if you want guided tour and booked please call because some cancel and may have openings.

I only related Vodou to evil but learned at a recent tour that they have one spiritual God. That it was never meant for evil but to help people. And that’s why I wanted to visit this museum.

It’s located in heart of French Quarter so be prepared to hunt for parking space. I parked across N. Rampart on Ursulines Ave, it was .7 miles away. It was a nice walk and you see most of Bourbon St.

They have nice African gifts and some from Haiti. Vodou dolls etc. And you can have psychic readings. They also have paid tours which wound probably be much better than self guided if like me don’t know much about it. I highly recommend visiting if in the area.
