Unfortunately, we found this place to be disappointing. It doesn’t have a great flow of information, feels lacking in information about what you are looking at or how things are connected, and often displays are too densely packed. The information just isn’t presented in an interesting way. We gave it a shot but I wouldn’t go again nor would I recommend it. And I generally enjoy things like this, including typical “tourist traps” but definitely not this. Oh and the bathroom is out of order…not sure how long it’s been like that and I could be wrong but I get the feeling that they do not intend to fix it soon - there is a nearby place to go so that might not be as big of a deal to others.
Great place if you want to learn some history and not just party on the French quarter. If you love true crime and serial killers you will be fascinated with all the cool stuff you will find here! We stayed 2 hours and only because they were closing! Closes at 6pm!

Amazing museum if you’re into death and serial killers. Lots of stories to read about along with artifacts from actual cases. Super cool. Only suggestion would be to have a working bathroom. I really had to go and I had to hold it the whole time I was there.
I so desperately wanted to take pictures of all the items in the main walkthrough but I honered the wishes of the owners. Went to the Museum of Death in LA years ago but it was nice that there were different and unique pieces here exclusively. Always have had a fascination with things like this so I loved it! Certainly not for everyone though.
Wow this museum was awesome! So much serial killer stuff to read and look at. A lot of stuff to do with death. Truly a remarkable experience you won’t forget. We spent a lot of time checking everything out. The theater is very graphic and it is warned. The tv is showing dead bodies almost the whole time. I loved this place so much personally but it’s not for everyone. No photos are allowed in the museum at all. You aren’t supposed to take out your phone. You are welcomed to use it in the gift shop part of it though.
I cannot begin to explain how absolutely incredible this museum was.
I could have spent HOURS in there, and been perfectly content.
The theater part is not for the weak hearted, but is so f*cki!ng awesome! Loved it! The people who work there are just as enthusiastic as you, and make you feel so welcomed!
DO NOT TAKE PICTURES OR VIDEOS.
Respect the dead, and welcome the fact that YOU will see things not many people will ever see.
It is so worth it! I plan on visiting the one in LA next!

I loved this place though I could see why some wouldn't. If you are a true crime junkie or like the dark side of life you'll love. View serial killer art and letters along with crime scene videos. I love my souvenir of a wet specimen of a heart.
Really fun museum if you are into serial murder cases and would like to see some artifacts or images. Lost a star due to being so small and when busy, can get a little tight. You must read a lot so if you enjoy reading, it ca. Take a long time to get through it all.
The store has really friendly employees. They are willing to help and answer any questions.
You cannot take photography or videos, as this would eliminate this museum. I fought the urge the whole time to pull out my phone.
