New Orleans history scene.

Musee Conti: Wax Museum of New Orleans

Stumbled on this while walking through the French Quarter, and for $8 per person it was well worth it. Lots of reading, took about 30 minutes, and totally schooled us on NOLA history.

Musee Conti Wax Museum

The museum is closing its doors on January 31, 2016. Go while you can! The owner is trying to find a home for the figures, but the building is getting made into condos.

Truly worth the low admission. A classic wax museum. Love the Dungeon of Horrors!

Napoleon in his war tub.

Historical Wax Museum of New Orleans

You will enjoy Napoleon's strategically placed loofah.

Nice! Wax museums are all about placement and juxtaposition. Wonder if Napoleon brought his sled-tub on the march to Moscow?
