This museum features a fascinating recount of Hurricane Katrina and also the history of Mardi Gras . It is inexpensive and great for museum-goers and those who just want to learn more!

Both Katrina and Mardi Gras exhibitions are great. If you plan on visiting the Cabildo too buy both tickets for a 20% discount .
