Ninfinity S.: Mary went above and beyond for my small group. Made the best of the situation when one was not feeling well and then some. Luckily, I got a tour of one of the cemeteries thats normally closed to public by happenstance and her family card. Made sure to show me the things Ive wanted to see for years and was able to visit my favorite authors resting place. She did a lovely blessing for my upcoming marriage. And in her museum, there definitely was someone making sure to let me know they were there and understood my past, if didnt know the happenings exactly but what I felt I understand.
Mary was one of the best parts of our visit to Nola!
Nola: Nice, quiet neighborhood park in Frenchman neighborhood. Its across the street from Ayu Bakery so grab a drink and Pastry then head over.
Theres also AIDS memorial at the park. Stop to learn.
Cynthia Neshawait: It was only $10 to enter but it wasnt even with that. The museum consists of two rooms fills with replicas of things that you could find at Pier 1, and the writing describing everything was so small you could barely read it. It had a small gift shop where you could purchase gris-gris bags and other little jewelry and finds, that was cute. The woman at the front desk was very knowledgeable about juju and spells. When in New Orleans I suppose its a must see but dont expect to be there longer than 30 minutes.
Janet Williams: Such a gem! We loved the exhibits: Keith Duncans HBCU portraits were joyful and beautiful, Benny Andrews was a revelation, Hoa Tay (Flower Hands) was thought provoking and the images of New Orleans from the permanent collection gave us new insight into the creative history of a great American city. The Ogden is everything a local museum should be:a space for new voices, old voices with new perspectives and a beautiful space that fosters our imagination and dispels labels and eschews stereotypes. This was an afternoon well spent.
Debbie M: I love this museum! Wonderful exhibits! Last week I went 2 days in a row because I spent hours just on the 3rd floor my first day there. My visit began with a wonderful demonstration of their Aeolian organ on the 3rd floor. Surround sound from the roaring twenties! Very cool. Then I explored various exhibits about the history, people and traditions of New Orleans. Admission is free, just check in to get a ticket. Do not miss their wonderful gift shop next door!
Christina Gonzalez: Parents be READY $$$ but extremely fun 1 race is 12 laps ! Buying the membership is optimal. 5 races is best offer $$ wise they can split the races up in several trips.
