Lonely Planet review for Historic Voodoo Museum

Of the (many) voodoo museums in the French Quarter, this one is probably our favorite. The narrow corridors and dark rooms, stuffed with statues, dolls and paintings, are something approaching spooky, and the information placards, which seem to have been written by an anthropology dissertation student with too much time on their hands, are genuinely informative (if a little dry).

    A hesitant thumbs up to an odd, dusty little 'museum'

    jessica_marie recommends this,

    This place is worth seeing for it's character more so than it's educational factor. It's only two rooms and a hallway, and it appears to not have been updated, added to or even DUSTED in about 30 years. The information provided is sometimes redundant or confusing, and you may come away with more questions than answers, but you will see the desiccated remains of a cat mounted on the wall, and perhaps meet the voodoo priest that runs the place and who told me he keeps a 28-foot long python in his apartment above the museum.
