Tip: The guided tour is highly recommended — docents share stories you won't get from the exhibits alone. Visit February-March to catch actual Mardi Gras parades downtown.
About
Housed in the historic Bernstein-Bush mansion downtown, this museum tells the story of America's original Mardi Gras — which started in Mobile, not New Orleans. Elaborate costumes, royal regalia, and interactive exhibits span three centuries of carnival tradition.
