Alot of cool items in the museum but much smaller than I expected.Overall was neat to see my kids who are 11 didnt think anything was scary or gross they found it informative.But make sure you have your corrective lenses if visiting I didnt take mine due to mask and I had trouble reading

Creepy and eye-opening as to how dark the human race is. The gentleman working there was super nice as well. Would recommend, 10/10

Good experience. Cost of admission is adequate. Whole walk through took little over an hour.

A lot to read, some interesting morbid treats for the brains education centre. Quiet like the home of a Hikikomori

Fun place if youre interested in true crime, oddities, and morbid curiosities! Ive been to the L.A. one too but enjoyed the NOLA location more. Love the magnets, tees and posters - I always stop in to purchase something when Im in town!

They dont lie when they say you may feel faint.Luckily we made it through without passing out. A nice and very unique museum. Glad we checked it out!

Loved this Museum, you cant take pictures but thats understandable, very interesting and cool exhibits lots of information. Not for the faint of heart but one of my new favorite places.

Fantastic! Lots of reading but very interesting. Not for the faint of heart, especially the embalming video. Great artwork, great history, and very well organized. Definitly check out the theater.

Love... just wish they had a poster of all the killers listed like on the post card. But overall a great place to visit.

Front desk attendant charged us $34 for 2 people, then turns around and charges the next couple behind us $32 for the same entry. When I confront her about the discrepancy, she says it was an accident and should have charged them the same as us. She didn’t offer a credit for the same amount.Essentially, told us it was an accident, but in truth, we were taken advantage of bc we looked different than the people behind us. This place is no where near as cool as the Hollywood location. Stay away, the customer service is terrible and will try to take advantage of tourist any chance they have.

Very informative, If youre into this kind of stuff like we are youll get the most out of it and if youre just going in for something to do you might not

Pretty cool museum. Wish it was a little bigger and had more stuff, but what it did have was great!

Super interesting. Definitely a must stop if you are interested in murderers. $15 per person!

Amazing place and wonderful atmosphere especially in a town known for its haunts. Highly recommended - probably wouldnt bring the kids.

Not worth the admission fee. Most items are from American culture, and I quickly found myself bored with it all. It is filled with artifacts from serial killers, like a prison jumpsuit worn by Charles Manson. Because the items are behind glass, I don’t see the difference between seeing them in this museum for $25 and viewing them on the internet for basically free. I can understand the appeal for southern baptists coming down from the hills, who want a sPoOkY New Orleans story for their friends in bible study. Personally, I wish I had spent that money on pancakes.

Awesome place to visit! Lots of real History. Very intriguing

Very unusual and entertaining place lot of fun facts about serial killers, embalming and just death. Definitely a must see on a trip to New Orleans

Interesting look at both individuals and societies in terms of all things death...

With a name like that, the Museum of Death has a lot to live up to. Definitely one of the weirdest museums in the capital of the strange, the Museum of Death is not a subtle place. I visited in March 2017 while on a book research trip for Valley of Dry Bones. The Museum of Death originates from a San Diego art gallery after its founders decided that people had become too distanced from death. On display, you’ll find body bags, coffins, old mortician equipment, photographs from crime scenes and morgues, images of the Manson Family, and much more. The self-guided tour lasts 45 minutes, although visitors are welcome to stay for as long as they can stand it.

Its small but packed full of plenty of things to keep you up at night. Yes its worth the time if you have an interest in serial killers or just death.

Super interesting. It was like a lot of forensic files episodes being brought to life

LOTS of paraphernalia for death fanatics with plenty of information to read, watch, review! Cool little gift shop too.

Very cool place! Very informative artifacts!

Great place to check out while you are visiting NOLA, went a few years ago and they have tons of crazy stuff! Can’t wait to see the one in Cali someday.

Most certainly one of the worst things I ever spent my money on. Wasn’t very interesting and everything there you can find on the internet. I was impressed.

Very friendly staff. If you like Danzig, White Zombie or Oliver Stone, this is the place for you

Interesting way to spend a few hours or two.

Fun and educative museum on death, serial killers and has a theatre with film on people being killed by police/army, etc! Very gruesome!There is a section on embalming from civil war to the beginning of the century with instruments, tables and lots of pictures/material!The entrance is $15 plus tax and definitely worth it! You’ll be there 45min to 2h depending on if you read and see most things as well as going in the theatre of death No pictures slowed!

Wife and I enjoyed the museum. A lot to see, worth it.

Id give it 10 stars of I could! A wealth of information packed in a small place. Definitely not for the weak of stomach. Actual photos of murder victims - Nichole Simpson for one. Post mortem pics of serial killers. Letters from serial killers. A film showing bodies after being mangled in wrecks and such. An interview with Dr. Jack Kevorkian. Anything having to do with death and destruction can be found within the museums walls. Im a little embarassed I loved it so. Oh well, lifes too short to be normal! Unfortunately they dont allow any photography inside the museum.

Not at all what we expected. Most of the artifacts are drawing from serial killers, taxidermy, writings from serial killers, and some pictures. The picture at the cash register was the scariest picture. Theres a lot to read but its all stuff you can read online. Overall just not worth the admission fee.

Good but small for the price.

This was spooky and so much I side/ behind the scenes of many horrific events that took place...lots of pics that were never made public.

I love the general idea and the museums content was great but I was a little disappointed as it was so much smaller than the one in LA. My expectations were it would be of similar size but with maybe a few different focused exhibition rooms but this was not the case. In LA it took me several hours to get through the museum whereas here it was hard to spend more than 45 minutes there and that was a stretch. Love the idea so much and still enjoyed my trip, just wish it had more to it.

I wasnt sure what to expect when I went and Im not sure how I felt after I left. Somethings were really cool. Somethings are really creepy. Somethings are disturbing but not like in a bad way. Somethings I keep thinking about, like the car accident photos. I cant seem to shake the place though. Thats the crazy part. Its like Id been there before. So weird. Definitely not for the queasy but definitely for the curious.

A cool museum!.

Definitely worth the $15!

Ive been to the museum a few times and Im still enthralled with it. If you are coming here expecting horror movie type death props and such. You will be disappointed. Its a real look at death in our culture and how its revered. From the serial killer memorabilia to crime scene photos and beyond. This museum has something for just about everyone. A lot of the images are very graphic so this a stop I wouldnt bring my kids to. If you havent been here it definitely should be on your bucket list. Plus its in New Orleans. Win Win.

A fun, interesting, insightful museum of the macabre. Worth the visit if you want to see something you wont find in another museum anywhere else (except the OTHER Museum of Death, in LA). If you dont have a stomach for graphic depictions, descriptions, or images, give this one a pass. If you are someone who is more curious or has a stronger constitution than most, it is a must!

All the death, none of the consequences. Very interesting displays and information. If you are at all interested in serial killers or old technology history this is a wonderful stop. Caution! The back room is basically a screening room of the faces of death movies and not for the faint of heart.

Price is a little high to see photo copies of the actual documents. The wow factor is when they put faces of death on in the rear movie theater. Definitely disturbing and some cool things here.Would not go again or bring anyone to see it but wasnt bad for a lemme just go in and pay 17 bucks to never do it again

Not scary or worth the entrance fee

This place is so awesome! Don’t expect it to be scary or anything like that! It’s very informational and there is so many cool items. Recommend to people who are interested in the brains of serial killers and killers. Make sure you know a little bit of background on the major killers so it’s more interesting :) they have much more then just killer info! Recommend 10/10.

Price was pretty steep for what it was. Had some interesting bits and pieces, also had some less interesting things such as scrap of cloth from serial killers prison garments. Video in the back of gruesome deaths played to upbeat music, might or might not be your thing.

This place was awesome. We spent a couple hours in here looking around and still feel like we could have spent more time. There is tons of stuff to see here, you will not be disappointed. The staff was very friendly and the price was great for the content in the museum. I cant recommend this place enough if you are into death stuff.

I really enjoyed this place but is definitely not for the faint of heart. It has death masks, videos of dead bodies, stories about famous serial killers, etc. A very unique and scientific experience.

Great pictures, lots of reading though. Would have liked to have more time to go through the notebooks. Staff is super pleasant.

I feel like this is the kind of place to go if youre the type of person who refuses to read books without pictures, not that theres anything wrong with that. Although there is a lot of text, its random and all over the place. You would be better off googling everything on display and that would give you a better explanation on what it is. A lot of the items are placed in an almost random order and feel like theyre there for the sake of it. I wouldnt suggest going out of your way to visit this place, even if you have a fascination with death, but if you happen to be passing by and need to kill 15 minutes, then this place is recommended.

Very informative! They have letters and memorabilia from serial killers which was pretty cool. We definitely will be back. The only thing that stopped me from giving 5 stars was the room that had a video playing. It was just playing no introductions just was on. That part sucked.

Interesting museum of sorts. This was a spur of the moment, quite a bit of history inside. Some detail photos of famous murders/murderers. Neat theater inside as well, not for the squeamish or faint of heart. Very detailed and in-depth videography and photography. No cameras allowed inside.

Amazing place, great gift shop, super friendly staff, gruesome items for display. A must for all us weirdos! Cant wait to come back :D

Great collection of items and in depth information on true crime and the macabre. Ive been nerding out on this stuff for years so it was great to finally visit the museum. Not for little kids or the faint of heart/overly sensitive types, especially the theater room in the back. If youre not into unpleasant subjects or anything gory, please dont go here and then complain that it was too much as its no secret what this place is about. Cant wait to visit the California location!

If you have an extra $15 and 5 minutes to spare... This place is for you.Such a waste of time. Typical tourest trap.Facts they did have, were all scattered about the place.Most of the stuff can be found by using Google.Oh.. there was 2 plastic bags if dirt... From a crime scene. That was interesting.

Great place! I spent a good hour in there just looking over every little detail. It was worth the trip. I am in the funeral industry and got to see some old stuff that I hadn’t seen in ages! Not only is it worth the price but it’s in the perfect area to roam around after your done!*can’t take pics inside otherwise I would post one ;)

Great museum. Was skeptical at first because of the reviews but after going Im glad I did. Its $15, and if you take the time to read the information youll spend about an hour here. I didnt find this place unsettling, however if you have a light stomach and dont react to well to pictures of blood and guts then its not for you. Honestly the one part of the entire museum that did make my stomach a little uneasy was the part about babies, probably because Im currently pregnant, but other than that I enjoyed the museum.

I believe a lot of people will enjoy this shocker of a gore fest. It was just over the top for me. There was lots of interesting information. Gladly it wasnt overly expensive.

It was ok. I thought it would be better organized in terms of how the rooms flowed. Video room in the back was just plain weird. There was no explanation of what the video was, just random deaths played on a loop. Checking it out once was enough for me.

What a great place for those who are into serial killers and early and old concepts of death. There are no pictures allowed once inside the main museum to preserve the artifacts. They have diaries and court proceedings/interviews from the Dahmer case that you can look through. Its on the small side but took a while to go through the greats stuff they have. The old embalming tools and old pictures were really cool. Loved this place and it really provided a lot of information on famous cases. There is also a movie room and had great momentos to buy.

I was really looking forward to visiting here, but was very underwhelmed. Staff were friendly and stored our back packs for us. The items on display at the museum were a bit boring if Im honest. Many displays lacked information, yet walls are plastered with text. It felt more like a death themed cafe that you cant eat in. The movie being displayed out the back was graphic, but many videos were old and blurry and very off-putting fun music playing throughout the screening. There were a group of guys behind us that were clearly struggling with the graphic nature, and one girl ran from the room. But for my partner and I, we found it uninteresting and lacking context. I did comment on the need for more context to the guys at the front desk and they said that they deliberately dont include it. The museum itself was laid through several rooms, with clear sections, but the items themselves in these sections were mishmashed at times, or unlabelled (eg below a wood board with holes in it that had a description, there was a suitcase, with no explanation to the suitcase). Walls are plastered with letters and envelopes for serial killers that felt more like a shrine than education about death. Needs a lot more information for it to call itself a museum.

This place was fantastic and fully lived up to my expectations. I recommend reading information on their website before going if youre easily disturbed. Definitely not for the faint of heart. Some negative reviews on here are comical due to them complaining about graphic images of death, when its literally a Museum of Death. It has detailed information on serial killers - including some lesser-known ones - graphic photos, and TVs that play various relevant tapes. Its a self-guided tour and I spent hours here. Again, if youre easily disturbed or cant comprehend that a Museum of Death will include things revolving around death, this isnt for you; but if you have an interest in educating yourself on various aspects of death, this place is magnificent.

This place is very knowledgeable about history of serial killers nice place if you like dark and gory

Not my personal cup of tea but I get the interest.

Not exactly what I expected, self guided tour. Tons and tons of stuff to read, you could spend days and days reading it all. What I could take in was fascinating though.

The Museum of Death is an interesting hole in the wall attraction. It contains gruesome artifacts all revolving around the concept of death. Theres letters from serial killers, artifacts from the Waco Standoff, shrunken heads, and all sorts of gore. They have a movie playing in the back of the museum showing what you would normally see on Live Leak, which wasnt terribly impressive. MOD has a ton of content but they lack organization. The exhibits do not flow well together and it makes your visit seem choppy. This makes the $15 entry fee seem pretty steep for what you get. Hopefully they can revamp their exhibits and make the exhibit flow a little better but I would reccomend staying away from this establishment.

The letters on display from serial killers were fascinating to read. Some of other things were maybe a little gimmicky and the death Theater was kind of morbid. Just clips of dead people over and over from home videos. Its two rooms and the small theatre area. I did find the 9/11 documentary interesting for sure.

Very interesting place if you like to learn about serial killers this place has a lot of information to read through. Very cool but not for people who cant handle violent images. Only thing I was hoping there was more of would have been visuals of crime scenes but I suppose thats hard to get. Very cool still though.

Very interesting time with a friendly staff. Lots of wild artifacts. I only wish it was bigger!

It’s a great museum with a unique look at the death and murder of many American icons. It’s a really cool place to check out. Totally a New Orleans icon.

Really cool place, for a $15 self tour I could have spent ALL DAY reading everything and looking at all the intriguing items on display. Bones, skeletons, death masks, serial killer info. They do charge extra if you pay with card fyi. No photos allowed inside, no backpacks, they will hold your items if needed.

The people where super nice and the museum has some pretty dope stuff in it. I would recommend if your into death.I would love to go again and spend more time reading all the news articles. I definitely recommend.

Very small museum, but that just makes you underestimate the amount thats inside. So surprising how they fit it all in there. Spent more than an hour reading and watching.

Very cool museum, little movie theater in the back. Very good detailed memoirs and news and reports. Staff was nice and loved the merchandise. Very nice shirts. Loved all the collections. Worth it.

Terrifyingly good! Ill be dreaming of this place tonight!.... Warning! Do Not go if you have a weak stomach or are sensitive to gruesome deaths or any kind of death for that matter! Lol...Def would not bring children here!

Simply not worth it. Price is too high to see three rooms of random stuff. No real organization, explanation, or flow. Many of the pictures had no captions. I wished I had asked for a refund.

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Not for the faint of heart. Has a wide selection of factual photos and objects. Little bit pricey but I’d attribute that to the price tag on actual crime scene photos etc...A must see on your New Orleans trip!!

Incredibly interesting as well as disturbing, what you would expect out of a museum of death. I wouldnt reccomend this place for the faint of heart but for those who find any and all forms of grisly death interesting would definitely check this place out. Staff is really nice too!

A lot smaller than expected and especially for the price.

Lots of information. I would recommend going early to give your self time to really look at everything. The place isnt big it is 3 rooms and a theater in the back with all types of information of serial killers, different murder weapons, types death you name it its probably there. But lots to read money well spent. Id go again one day.

TL;DRDo Go if you enjoy true crime, serial killers, and sensationalized death.Dont Go if you actually want to learn stuff at a museum.I find a lot about death interesting, such as burial practices and history, and was especially hoping to learn more about that in relation to New Orleans. Id visited the Pharmacy Museum a few days before (five stars!) and I really enjoyed the combination of artifacts and information. Topics were organized in a logical fashion and even ones I thought I wouldnt have cared about piqued my curiosity. So I was really looking forward to this museum doing the same.And there were portions that did. I really enjoyed the exhibits on embalming and funerary equipment. But many exhibits were not organized or presented in a way that helped people learn, like the serial killer exhibit. There was no obvious flow to the room. In the section with newspapers from mass shootings and bombings, events were not presented in order and some were scattered in between others, and nothing was labeled. And there were a few photographs in the funerary photographs section that looked really interesting but didnt seem to be connected to anything at all.The Theater of Death in the back was also a disappointment - when we were there it appeared to be short video clips of people getting killed, which can also be found on the internet for free (not that I stuck around longer than 2 seconds to know for sure). What about a short video showing us those serial killer artifacts with a voice over so the info can be more accessible and maybe even more macabre and creepy than hanging on the wall?I think I wanted this place to be a museum more than it actually was one. The Weekly World News and New York Post clippings on the wall should have tipped me off.

Have you ever wanted to throw away $15.00? Well if your answer to that question is Yes, I have then you should purchase an admission ticket to the Museum of Death.Visitors arent allowed to take pictures within the museum-- well, duh! Because that would reveal how much of a money-stealing scheme this place is.Okay, so the Museum of Death is essentially a medium-sized room, split up into exhibits that are separated by shower curtains. And the exhibits are all just a collection of old newspaper clippings and low-quality photographs posted on a display board-- honestly, it looks like a future mass shooters makeshift bedroom decor.If you truly want to waste $15.00, buy yourself a Voodoo amulet blessed for the prevention of bad decisions.

Very interesting. Do not bring kids here. Photos are also not allowed.

This place has promise; however, I have a few complaints. My wife and I felt like the museum was very scattered. We wanted to learn more about death, but what we felt like they did was awkwardly fetishize serial killers without exploring the different elements of death and how living people come to terms it. If their intent was to focus on serial killers, they could have expanded more upon those stories. There were several serial killers who were featured in the museum with no real back story, and I didn’t understand the importance of the pieces. For those who did have a written back story, we had to spend some time reading a 1+ page description. There are a number of ways to die, and we aren’t sure why there was such an emphasis on serial killers. Also, there were exhibits with zero explanation, like the penitentiary ID badge. Also, I’m not sure why the videos in the theater were all just dead people. We wanted something more. Something more informative. If you want to see a better and more entertaining museum of death, we recommend Trundle Manor of Pittsburgh.

Some intriguing pieces, friendly staff, and quick to see. Not worth the price though (15$ + tax). It collects a bunch of stuff which only common theme is death, with no logical order, bigger story, or proper explanation.

If you like this sort of thing its worth going to. Very dark (unsurprisingly). Not like the Museum of Death in Los Angeles (which felt a bit more historic and less graphic for the sake of graphic-ness). The museum has great parts and some oh-god-i-feel-nauseous-just-looking-at-that. Its fine, just be prepared and make sure that is what youre wanting. Very fascinating place and well designed exhibits. And the stories about the various serial killers were well done.

Very interesting museum. The owners of this location also own one in LA, and they said they often switch things between the two. I enjoyed coming in and looking around. There are letters from killers, newspapers, news casts about it, shows, movies and so much more that goes in depth. The tour is self guided, and I think it is worth the time and effort to come in. It is off the beaten path, and I would love to come back.

Super helpful and informative staff! Really neat and interesting artifacts! I love that you can spend as much time looking at the exhibits as you need since the tours are self-guided. Id definitely come back for another visit!

Great place full of gruesome/fun/scary/dead artifacts and facts alike. This place really is a must see for anyone looking for the slightly darker side of New Orleans. You can spend as much time as you like exploring this small-ish museum, and it will leave a big impact. Its packed to the gills with serial killers art, letters, belongings, an African princes head, shrunken heads.. this place it all. Not for the faint of heart or weak of stomach.

Loved it. Especially reading letters from serial killers in their own hand - that was pretty facinating. Not for the faint at heart they do have some very gruesome crime scene photos and videos

Perfectly creepy.

There were some cool displays, and some interesting paperwork to flip through on some exhibits. But, kinda expected more cool stuff. Certainly wasnt expecting a huge wall dedicated only to Manson. One the most interesting things was the bat skeleton.

Room to grow. A truly macabre look at death, with some areas to improve. Not for the faint of heart. It truly fits into the city of New Orleans.Interesting to see a brochure for volunteering at the local hospice.

Nice selection! Presentation is a bit scattered but the collection makes up for it. Would recommend if you enjoy reading!

Its a quaint little museum. Easily done in half an hour, though there was enough ephemera to stretch that to an hour or so if you read everything. Lots of novel artifacts and bits of serial killer history. The sheer amount of letters they have is astounding, and I would have liked to have stayed longer. The staff was extremely pleasant and friendly, and was quick to offer help and assistance.

Very neat stuff. Take time to visit LOTS to see! Learned a few things!

Great place to spend some time when you need something to do. Obviously with the name Museum of Death you should be aware that if you have a light stomach you should not look here for entertainment. They have a wide variety of topics such as serial killers, terrorism, execution, and more. In the very back is a theatre, which plays some raunchy material with gore, not something many would be particularly fond of viewing, luckily you wouldnt have to step foot in there if you didnt want to. They also have some interesting memorabilia and antique equipment associated with death. The staff was very nice and made sure to answer any questions we had.

Is a very interesting place to visit, it is a bit pricey to walk around and see some crazy things that will blow your mind. They dont allow pictures but yeah why not.

It was really informative. Everything from serial killers to kevorkian and Victorian child death portraits. No photos allowed which is understandable the place is a bit small but you can easily spend an hour or two there just taking in information.

A great insight into death and the minds of killers! You can go around at your own pace. Highly recommend.

Ive been hearing about this museum for years and finally got the chance to go. Honestly, it was very underwhelming as a museum. The collections were neat and theres good information on the death industry, but overall I am unsure if this trip was worth it

Very interesting little museum. There are like 4 parts to the museum. The first is taxidermy curiosities, second is tons of info and oddities about serial killers, third is old funeral home/burial practices and then theres a theater at the back with old crime photos and stories. Glad I stopped.
