New Orleans Historic Voodoo Museum
New Orleans Historic Voodoo Museum Review
This homegrown musuem will turn skeptics into believers. Voodoo isn't just something marketed to visitors; it lingers on in the lives of many a New Orleanian, who still light candles for good luck or rely on a potion to find love. The large collection of artifacts and displays here include portraits by and of voodoo legends, African artifacts believed to have influenced the development of the religion, and lots of gris-gris (bundles with magical ingredients). The gift shop sells customized gris-gris, potions, and handcrafted voodoo dolls. A psychic reader is on duty to divine your future.
