The Mardi Gras spirit has arrived at the Lafayette Museum. The ground floor of this historic structure now features a display of exquisite costumes on loan from local Mardi Gras krewes. Among the finery are costumes from the Royal Order of the Troubadours, the Krewe of Rio, the Mystic Krewe of Apollo and the Krewe of Gabriel. Additionally, the permanent Mardi Gras second floor exhibit room features many Krewe of Gabriel royalty costumes from years past.
The ground floor special exhibit will remain until March 12, 2025. The Museum, located at 1122 Lafayette Street, is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. Ticket prices range from $5.00 for students, seniors (65+) and members of the military to $10.00 for adults
