The museum is wonderful and very interesting, it shows us the whole history of this Carnival in Mobile how Mobile is the house of Mardi Grass, everything related to these festivities since the year of its creation, the clothes used by the queen and king of the carnival , the ceremonies that they did many years ago, it is very interesting to see how to maintain these costumes and all the ceremonies and carnivals, through your phone you can listen to each explanation of each room, the year of the reign for example, in short, we appreciate Mobile for enrich us with their culture.

When you first enter the museum, be sure to watch the movie to get the history of Mardi Gras. Amazing work in the costumes, Toni (staff) was super friendly and knowledgeable. You can see everything in about an hour.

As with many other people, I had no idea that Marti Gras started in Mobile. This is a great museum for a few reasons. You can do the tour as a self-guided version using your phone or you can get a guided tour with a guide. I had a great time using just the phone and ended up catching up to a tour group and heard a bit of their personal stories and history discussion with their guide. This museum also had very different things than I expected. I had no idea the level of work, detail and cost that went into the king and queen's royal train each year. Those things are amazing. Finally, the gift shop had some mini Moon Pies.
