This was a very informative and interesting museum. The museum was well-maintained, and the ladies at the front desk were very friendly. I highly recommend this as an adult-only activity. It was only about 1 1/2 hours to complete it, and there is a parking lot right next to it, so easy to park.
This museum is great. It really gives a great history and look into the Red Light District. It's interactive and entertaining.
Very informative. Loved the hands-on exhibits.
Visiting this museum was a highlight of our visit to Nola. We learned so many things that we would not have learned elsewhere. The exhibits are well-curated and engaging. All of the information was interesting and thought-provoking, as well as being sensitive to the perspectives of the women who lived and worked in Storyville. We plan on visiting this museum again, on our next visit to Nola.
A fascinating museum with modern exhibits and excellently curated. It tells the story of prostitution in New Orleans by explaining the history of the city. It tells the story of French and Spanish colonization, slavery, and jazz. Extremely well done.
I travel to NOLA a couple of times a year and during my last visit for the French Quarter festival I was told about Storyville. If you want to learn about the city's history this is a must stop. The self guided tour starts with the Spanish and French early settlements. Learn how to keep the early male settlers happy the French government sent French women for the men to marry. As it turned out they became prostitutes for the men not wives. Learn about the areas that the brothels occupied and see a replica of the one room where business was conducted. Learn why the red light became a symbol and the trainmen's lantern. Truly a fascinating experience. It took me 2 hours to go through the museum with all the info to read.
Wow!!! So interesting and informative. So much history. It was a treat to spend a few hours here. Staff very nice.
This place was recommended to my friend and I and we were hesitant to go, but I’m glad we did. It was historical, unique, tasteful, and informative. It was not just an x-rated take on prostitution in New Orleans, as some may assume. The experience provided a glimpse into the past and the way life was historically through the centuries, especially for women. Each room told a story about a certain time period from the settlement of NO all the way up to present time. Expect to spend 1.5-2 hours there because there is a lot of reading to do, but it’s totally fascinating.
The Storyville was a great rainy day activity. The information was presented in intriguing ways. Gives you insights into New Orleans during that time in history.
Gave a 1- star only because it was cancelled due to guide illness. It was handled very professionally, however, with early notification, the chance for a different time or tour and a full refund
