Very interesting
This was our second visit to the Carnival Museum. Our tour guide today was L. Craig Roberts, author of "Mardi Gras in Mobile", an interesting history of Mobile's Mardi Gras culture. Mr. Roberts was slightly pretentious, knowledgeable and witty, providing stories of the Carnival history in addition to information about the exhibits. The museum's exhibits are incredibly interesting, especially the Queen's dresses, trains and regalia, which were exquisite. On the flip side, being from a northern state, I still just don't get the carnival culture, but I'ill probably visit again in the future.

Interesting
It is a very interesting museum. I don't as a rule care for museums but we went with several of our friends and was amazed at all the interesting stuff that took you back in time. We ended up spending several hours. A don't miss place.
