Best places: Museums in Harahan, United States

👍👍 Excellent gift shop, historical tour, and small distillery. We signed up for the free complimentary tour on their website. We had low expectations given it was a free tour, but were blown away by how good it was. The and interactive historical displays were top notch. There were free cocktail ta...

Multi-building museum with interactive submarine exhibit, planes, 4-D theater & eatery downstairs.

👍👍 After reading so many mixed reviews, I was hesitant to visit the exhibit. While the canvas replicas were not detailed and just print, that isn't the reason we went, and they were still pretty. Now if there were extreme artists going, I could see where they would be upset at the quality, but we were...

Historic plantation home with exhibits, interactive demonstrations & tours from costumed guides.

19th-century house museum with period furnishings, a stable & a functional 1830s outdoor kitchen.

👍👍 This tour was freaking amazing. Seriously. I am so very glad that I came. I had initially needed to reschedule the first tour, the second they had to reschedule. I am so glad that they are here. This is the only museum dedicated to the free people of color in the state and even in the US, quite poss...

State museum with Hurricane Katrina & Mardi Gras exhibits in a former courthouse built in 1813.

👍👍 Non-museum people of the world, I understand how you might feel, when you are visiting New Orleans, and your mate wants to drag you to a learnin' place to get some culture (pronounced "culchuh" here). What if I told you that at the end of a rainbow there was a museum with only...... 2 rooms.......an...

👍👍 We were so lucky to enjoy a private tour with Al and a private performance with two of his fellow performers! Learned so much about Jazz and the history of New Orleans. Would absolutely come back again. It’s people like Al that keeps the soul of the music and the history alive!

👍👍 Wonderful little place. I have had this on my list of places I want to go for quite some time now. So many excuses to not go since I live in a suburb. No more. I came on a weekend and I am glad I did. The owner gave so much information about the history of Mardi Gras and what goes into everything. A...

Indoor & outdoor interactive exhibits include an art studio & a mock cafe, plus play areas.

Small museum exploring New Orleans traditions, with exhibits on brass bands, jazz funerals & more.

👍👍 This is absolutely a must-visit. My husband and I are both teachers (not in Louisiana) and we had never heard the heroic story of these brave ladies. The site is beautiful, but currently under renovations, so they have the schematics and projected sketches for what the facility will look like upon c...

👍👍 Very beautiful and religious place. A sacred place where blessed Seelos lived and died and ministered to his congregation. His remains are here please pray that he is canonized soon. St. Mary's Assumption Church is not to be missed with it's magnificent stain glass windows and hand carved statues.

Built in 1857, this opulent, furnished house provides a glimpse into the life of an affluent family.

Landmark home of prominent 19th-century figures featuring tours, a garden & antique doll collection.

👍👍 If you're coming to New Orleans to see the National WWII museum, you are missing half the story my friend. This museum is incredible for history buffs and "armored enthusiasts" alike. Their collection includes (but not limited to); a FT 17 in great condition, an M5 Stuart, MTLB, m4a3 Sherman, M60 an...
