WAX: Rave Reviews

Rave Reviews

PARTY REVIEWS: "An event at Musée Conti is a guaranteed success, and the venue stands on its own. Everything came together beautifully from the accommodation and spectacularly remodeled room upstairs, the authentic freight elevator manned by LeStat himself, to the voodoo priestess and palm readers throughout the museum. The location was convenient to the convention center and all of the French Quarter hotels, and even parking was a snap."

Nora S. Feeley, Marketing Director

"It has such an old New Orleans feel and such a European elegance rarely found in the United States. While we were at one time concerned that the WAX was too offbeat for such a conservative company as IBM, we find now that our guests were so pleased they cannot stop talking about the tremendous time they experienced at our unique event."

Susan Goldstein, Account Supervisor
Clarion Performance Properties

"To you and all connected with the museum Kudos. I can't remember the last time our dealers "waxed" so enthusiastically about an event. The band, the tours the costumes and food were all terrific."

"I will look forward to bringing another group back [to the Musée Conti], and would not hesitate to recommend a visit to Musée Conti to any other meeting planners who might be looking for a unique and interesting way to entertain guests in New Orleans."

"What an innovative idea to combine a cocktail / dinner reception among the history and legends of Louisiana. Our people thoroughly enjoyed the two (2) costumed guides, the exhibits, the two (2) Tarot card readers were a huge success. This was not just "another dinner function.". . . . Because this was our first night in the city, I believe our guests had more of an appreciation of New Orleans' uniqueness during their stay. Thanks for helping to make our visit to New Orleans a special one."

Steve Bordonaro, Regional Training Manager
Syntex Laboratories, Inc., Tucker, GA

"A local landmark . . . . A Treasury of Louisiana history . . . . Where it’s Mardi-Gras all year round"

The New York Times

"One of the real bargains in New Orleans . . . . Painstakingly reconstructed with flair and historical accuracy . . . To overlook this museum would be a mistake for locals and tourists"

The Sun Herald

"Experience the bewitching sensuous world of Voodoo at The Musée Conti"

SCHOOL GROUPS:

"We have found that the events represented by wax figures along with the guide's explanations parallels closely with the information we have been teaching our students. Seeing these "life - like" figures, the authentic clothing and realistic settings has helped tremendously to reinforce what has been learned and also spurs interest and further independent research.
We enjoy our visits to the Musée Conti and look forward to reliving New Orleans history again next spring, if not sooner."

Kathy Rabin, 3rd Grade Teacher
Isidore Newman School, New Orleans, LA

"Starting our day at your museum and then extending the learning with a walking tour of the historic French Quarter is an invaluable experience. We found the figures and scenes fascinating. You would be surprised if you could see how well your exhibits match our textbook. (Our guide was so informative). When we returned, the students wrote essays about the trip. I am satisfied that they learned a great deal."

Dianne Moss, 8th Grade Teacher
J.H. Williams Middle School, Abbeville, LA

"I feel New Orleans has a rich heritage and that the Musée Conti is doing an excellent job preserving it!"
