My son and I stopped by on a whim thinking it would be about a hour tour with a few artifacts and photographs. Wow, was I wrong! I was bowled over by the many many costumes, gowns-especially gowns-that were on display along with many vintage posters, sketches, and sparkling crowns. The tour guide, a local architect/historian named C Roberts, had a plethora of knowledge about all things Carnival and very entertaining! I learned many many new facts about Mardi Gras.
