Learned alot about where Mardi Gras started in Mobile. Museum is bursting with colorful “trains” and stories of this cultural season.
Learned a lot about Mobile’s history and where Mardi Gras actually started. We especially enjoyed seeing the “trains” and grandeur of the Mardi Gras tradition in Mobile.
So much good information and beautiful displays!! Our docent, Terry Ankerston, had all the facts and figures and inside info you could ask for!! The rooms of the “home” each display different aspects of Carnival and the societies. A great stop!
So glad you enjoyed your visit and personalized tour by Terry! We love sharing our Mardi Gras history!
This was such a cool museum with fantastic exhibits. The ladies in the gift shop were so welcoming and gave us lots of pointers on how to spend our day in Mobile.
This is a really fun small museum but they really pack a ton of costumes, embroidered robes, and history into each room!
A place to learn about Mardi Gras and Mobile’s Mardi Gras history! The Mardi Gras costumes were very ornate. We did the guided tour. The guide was very informative and did an excellent job explaining the displays and the history of Mardi Gras!
Excellent exhibition of the dazzling high end costumes and considerable fun stuff as well. a good movie about the history of Mardi Gras in Mobile, the original in the USA.
Katerine provided a great tour with local insights, history, architecture and of course food. She watched over us with humor and genuine concern.
I love the history of Mardi Gras so I was looking forward to visiting the museum. Everyone was kind and helpful. The museum is gorgeous with incredible artifacts and precious collectibles from Mardi Gras. I spent much more time here than I expected to...there is a lot to read and see. The building is historic and each room was filled with fabulous costumes and photographs. I loved learning this history. I am thankful for its preservation.
Enjoyed all the opulent Mardi Gras costumes from all the various decades. A very impressive collection
