Voodoo Museums - user review
There are actually two voodoo musuems in the French Quarter, and entrance to one gives you free entry to the other. We went to the voodoo museum on Dumaine Street first.

New Orleans Historic Voodoo Museum | Museum/Attraction Review | New Orleans | Frommers.com - expert review
Some of the hard-core voodoo practitioners in town might scoff at the Voodoo Museum, and perhaps rightly so. It is largely designed for tourists, but it is also probably the best opportunity for tourists to get acquainted with the history a...
