Awesome 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)!+

Informative exhibits about Hurricane Katrina & Rita. 2nd floor has Mardi Gras & Ball Parade stuff. Don’t miss the hall with the view of Jackson Square!

Make sure you catch the video exhibit at the end. It is beautiful and speaks so much of the special that is NOLA.

Fairly interesting, but a little hard to make sense of some of the relics. He video stories were interesting.
