Our primary purpose is to collect, authenticate and subsequently display and explain Voodoo with the emphasis on Louisiana Voodoo. Our main focus is on the education and entertainment of visitors to New Orleans. The museum also serves to assist researchers for both for scholastic and literary projects. Media productions, documentary, commercial and independent are also welcome. The Voodoo Museum may also act as a point of contact, or referral, between the general public and persons, events and services within the local Voodoo community.

The Voodoo Museum also operates a gift shop both on site and via the internet that sells many one of a kind, locally hand made, Voodoo objects and curios such as Voodoo dolls, gris-gris bags, potions and other things.

The Voodoo Museum provides Walking Tours to Congo Square and the tomb of Marie Laveau in St. Louis Cemetery #1. Other customized and/or group tours are also available. Please details under Services.

Arrangements may be facilitated to contact Voodoo psychics for reading and consultations.

The Voodoo Museum may also provide a historian and/or Voodoo practitioner to appear as a speaker.

Special performances of Voodoo rituals, or by a Voodoo Queen, intended for the entertainment of groups, or private parties, may also be arranged.
