Creole Death and Mourning Tours Open

  • Gallier House 1132 Royal Street New Orleans, LA 70116 (map)

Join us for the Creole Death and Mourning exhibition at Gallier House. Tour the historic Victorian townhome in mourning and learn about a time period when death and the macabre were pervasive. For Catholic Creoles in New Orleans, mourning rituals were an integral part of 19th-century life and a sincere effort to remember departed relatives and friends. This one hour guided tour runs September 20th through November 13th, 2023.
