Have you ever been in a museum where you could buy the pieces? This is what it feels like. Definitely one of my favorite places in New Orleans. I’ll never be able to afford anything they sell, but it’s still wonderful to admire special, historically unique, museum quality pieces on a lazy Sunday.

Incredible private collection! Free admission, museum quality antiques and art. The staff are all very friendly, and will offer explanations of items if requested. Excellent place to go see if you're in the French Quarter!

This place is amazing, to say the least. Picassos, Van Goghs, Rockwells, all just out in the open. Antiques that cost millions. Desks and Safes with hidden compartments. A large assortment of weapon canes. Everything is so cool.
