Let’s check out some more museums stories??
Mardi Gras World
Mardi Gras World was created in 1984 as a tourist attraction to give visitors a behind-the-scenes look at the construction of floats for the well-known New Orleans festival, Mardi Gras. The site belongs to Kern Studios by Blaine Kern.
Mardi Gras or ‘Fat Tuesday’, was brought to North America by French-Canadian explorer Pierre Le Moyne, Sieur d’Iberville in 1699. It wasn’t until 1703 that French soldiers and colonists enjoyed the Mardi Gras festivities on newly founded city of Mobile (capital of the French territory of Louisiana at the time). After more than 100 years, the first Mardi Gras parade was recorded in New Orleans in 1837. Today, Mardi Gras is known as one of the most famous Carnivals in the world.
This tourist attraction is open every day from 9am to 5:30pm, only closed on Christmas, Christmas Eve, Thanksgiving, Easter and Mardi Gras Day. The ticket ranges from US$14 to US$22. The tour lasts an average of 1 hour. Want to know more, visit the website.
