New Orleans Historic Voodoo Museum

Strange, unique, spooky, fun, and scary, this museum, established in 1972, offers a curious and introductory insight into the world of Louisiana Voodoo, also known as New Orleans Voodoo. Despite consisting of only two rooms, it is jam-packed with historical Voodoo relics, paintings, sculptures, and other artifacts. It is quite interesting to see whether you are just discovering Voodoo or you are a die-hard fanatic.

The local priestess will even give you a psychic reading in person or by phone. For those who wish to take the experience further, ritual services with local practitioners – from blessings and curse removals to weddings and other ceremonies – can be arranged.

They limit visitors in the museum proper, and as two come out, two more can go in – which means you can see everything without feeling rushed. The gift shop sells love potions, books, chicken feet, gris-gris bags, snake oils, books, dolls, candles, and other mementos.
