Attended a wedding here. It was very nice the way that it was all decorated and how the space was used. The only thing is that guest tables were separated quite a bit. Would go back to actually hear the full history of the museum. More...

Very insightful. Schools should bring students here to see their history; because they do not know this history and African American children need to know this history; if they knew this I believe their behaviors toward each other would change. More...

Please go there you won't regret it. A knowledgeable curator leads you through the history of new Orleans and the slave trade. Small group so any questions can be addressed. Surrounded in a old home with lots of interesting art and historical documents. More...

This place is amazing. It has some of the most premier art work in the world displayed. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I really like the manicured gardens and the brick fence. It's a lovely space. It compliments the grandeur of Esplanade. More...

The tour was remarkable and I gained more than Knowledge than I could imagine. The books in the BOOK NOOK makes you want to purchase them all. A great boutique museum.

Stopped by the museum today without an appointment (they do very small group tours by scheduled appointments), and was fortunate able to get fit in since they were under capacity for the tour. I learned a lot more than what I already knew. The tour guide, Kim, is both funny and informative. The paintings and photographs displayed are beautiful, and there's nuggets of historical documents and information nicely displayed. Additionally, the house and the grounds are beautifully maintained. I'd highly recommend going if you'd like to learn more about local history, especially since the city is undergoing a lot of demographic and cultural changes. More...

Staff was welcoming and very informative. I learned more intimate details about the struggles of my people. It was difficult to hear some of the trials, heart breaks and triumphs that still continue in some forms. It's very important to know ones history so it is not repeated. Thank you for the lessons to carry back to share with others. I will return to sit on that beautiful porch and enjoy the gardens. More...

Both museums in the McKenna collection are not to be missed for their historic perspective. The tours are wonderful as led by Kim who is a fountain of information and forthright speech. The collection of art is fascinating and worth spending a lot of time with in both museums. Not to be missed, More...

This place was beautiful and a great resource of knowledge. Our guide was super sweet and led us throughout the museum as it she was our friend. Telling us stories and information, not reciting a lesson to us. I enjoyed it a lot and highly recommend. If you are looking for places to go they give their own map of black owned business to go to throughout NOLA. Their courtyard is beautiful too, great for pictures. #culture #rainyday #accessible #mustsee #learn More...
