Backstreet Cultural Museum, New Orleans

Not quite what I expected but still learned plenty about the African-American Mardi gras culture, which is nothing like what I imagined. It is a small place so not too much to see but still worth it. The lady who explained everything was very nice and passionate which was a plus.

Fun and quirky, and important institution for preserving the neighborhood’s history. Definitely worth visiting and supporting.

This is a small museum that's packed with a lot of history and culture. We had a lot of questions about the history of Mardi Gras and the staff was able to answer them all. It's definitely a must see if your visiting New Orleans.

It's a tiny little museum that is packed with history. Lots of interesting things to see here. It won't take too long to check out the place but it's well worth the visit.

A must see. In a time that traditions seem hard to hold onto, they plant the seeds for the future. Thank you Backstreet Cultural Museum for opening my eyes to a piece of New Orleans soul.
