Backstreet Museum, New Orleans

Costumes of 'Mardi Gras Indians' and other artifacts of Tremé culture.

Costumes of 'Mardi Gras Indians' and other artifacts of Tremé culture. An easy walk a block and a half from the French Quarter; well worth the $8 admission fee not only for the displays but also for fascinating narration about local culture by the neighborhood curators.
