Krewe of Gemini Mardi Gras Museum
About This Museum
Tucked away in a no-frills building on East Texas Street, this place is a total hidden gem for anyone curious about Mardi Gras magic. Forget the French Quarter—this is where you get up close with the real spectacle of a northwest Louisiana krewe. The sheer scale of the costumes hits you first; we're talking massive, glittering headdresses and intricate outfits that must have taken thousands of hours to create. It feels less like a formal museum and more like a backstage pass to the most vibrant party you've ever seen.
Collection Highlights
You'll find dazzling, larger-than-life costumes from past kings and queens, complete with their scepters and crowns. They also have some of the actual parade floats parked right inside, which really gives you a sense of the sheer size and engineering involved.
Visitor Information
It's super easy to find with plenty of parking right out front. Definitely call ahead to check their open hours since they can vary, especially around the actual Mardi Gras season.
Architecture & Building
It's housed in a straightforward, utilitarian building that looks like a warehouse or large workshop from the outside, which makes sense given they build massive floats in there.
