Couldn’t really get near that museum almost exactly 2 years ago. Just a mob scene. Went to the civil war museum instead (which was very good).
There’s a window to visit New Orleans, we’ve discovered. After Mardi Gras, and before it gets summertime. Weather is decent, and hotel rates are more affordable. We live in North Louisiana, so its only a 5 hour trip.
Late fall is also good, excepting Thanksgiving week. Bayou Classic that week, and it ain’t safe.
