It was truly a love letter to the city, full of colorful, unique, and creative art exhibitions, all made out of recycled materials (which I found to be impressive and admirable)! There was a curated playlist of amazing jazz music playing throughout, which really set the tone delightfully! Upon entering, guests are welcomed into the space and there was a personable and helpful guide who described the space, then led us into the opening rooms. The first one was blue with neon pink, green, and glowing, with letters, symbols, and TV screens, comprising of one big puzzle. The next is a long hallway of hot pink with blue detailing and lights throughout, along with cool protruding, spongy shapes representing organs on the walls. Very psychedelic vibes! This led into a large space with sculptures of a larger than life alligator mouth open wide, creature atop a huge pot with the words "Stir the Pot," crawfish, tall lily pads, insect jazz band, peacock and more. There was also a cool, pretty flower wall, and upon closer inspection, I discovered they were made out of records. From there, I headed upstairs to see the blue, purple, and pink room holding the gorgeous Fountain of Youth glowing bright blue, filled with gold coins in them for wishes. The ceiling was lush and leafy with a lovely hanging light, as well as a pearly oyster shell inspired one. In addition, there was a shotgun style house with a balcony we could go in. Back downstairs, I explored a bar neon colored words related to New Orleans all over the walls, with upside down piano & drinks. Next, I checked out a decorative white a black room, featuring a glowing green stand. With the press of a button, it turned the room disco-y blue with a glow in the dark effect. After that, I went into the beautiful Desire themed room with humongous pearl structures hanging down, where you can write and release your true desires. Such a dreamy, ethereal feel to this one! There was a little sleek and sexy speakeasy space, called Candlelight Lounge. Then was one of my favorite exhibits: Feast Mode, displaying glittery New Orleans culinary delight classics in true indulgent style, as well as super funky, fun paintings and art pieces. Near this room was a window with full of shiny, delicately constructed objects of vibrant colors representing New Orleans. This was a glitzy video opp with props offered, with the phone going in the center, spinning around and capturing us dancing, shimmying, or whatever suits your fancy! The remaining few installations were music themed with drums and large silver circles, which could be played, emitting different sounds to create a symphony of song. At the end, there was a room showcasing larger than life sculptures of heads of musical greats, including Louis Armstrong, Lil Wayne, and Big Freedia. I really enjoyed my time here. Staff were super welcoming, accommodating, and helpful with photos throughout. The artistry, detail, and care was visible throughout each and every art piece and room. JAMNOLA was such a fun experience and I recommend you check it out for yourself!

She was excited the whole time, and honestly so was I. It's one of those places where you can actually enjoy it as an adult and still let your kid have their moment too. We definitely got some really cute pictures, so if you're into that, you're going to love it. It's very "stop, pose, next room, do it again" in the best way. It's not a super long experience, but it's worth it. I'd say give yourself about an hour, maybe a little longer if you're taking your time with photos. Only tip is try to go when it's not too crowded, because some people really turn it into a full photoshoot and you'll be waiting a little. Overall, I'd definitely recommend it, especially if you have kids or just want something different to do in the city.

Whether you're a practitioner, a collector, naturally curious, or simply someone who enjoys the unusual and macabre, this shop has something for everyone. The diversity of items available is impressive. From cards and books to ethically sourced bones, handcrafted artwork, curiosities, and so much more, it's impossible to list everything they offer. Every corner of the shop holds something fascinating. While photos and videos aren't permitted inside, I can say that the space itself is thoughtfully curated and filled with amazing handcrafted pieces created by talented artists and makers. I was fortunate enough to speak with one of the owners, who graciously allowed me to take a single overall photo. I didn't want to spotlight just one artist and risk overlooking the incredible work of others who have poured their hearts and souls into their creations. When we visited, Shelby and Port were working, and they truly made the experience memorable. I was having a rough day after getting overheated, but Shelby patiently answered every question I had with both knowledge and kindness. They even took the time to explain concepts in ways that newcomers and non-practitioners could easily understand. Port was equally wonderful. We spent time swapping stories about oddities we'd encountered and discussing items on our wish lists. They were incredibly knowledgeable, even educating us on regulations regarding which oddities can and cannot legally be shipped in and out of Louisiana. What impressed me most was how welcoming the atmosphere was. I walked in as a customer and left feeling like I had made new friends. I'm currently waiting on my purchases to arrive and honestly feel like a kid waiting for Christmas. If you're skeptical, curious, morbidly inclined, a collector, a practitioner, or simply looking for an unforgettable experience in the Quarter, do yourself a favor and stop by Dark Matter Oddities. Come for the curiosities, stay for the conversations, and be prepared to leave with a story or two of your own.

For so long I wondered how the spooky/haunted capital of the country had gone decades without a place like this. HAUNT NOLA is the brainchild/gallery space of Butchovision. Butchovision in case you're unfamiliar, is known for crafting phenomenal horror themed art, patches, pins, and more. You can find all of his custom creations and more at his shop/gallery which is attached to the Deurty Boys gallery space on Chartres. It's a small little space but it's packed with interesting finds and lots of character. If you or a loved one is into all things horror/spooky, you have got to stop into this spot! I bought a few pins but want to definitely go back for some custom jackets and art. He has over 100 pins alone in the shop (how many do you think I can buy before my girlfriend sees my bank statement and takes my credit card away)? HAUNT NOLA just opened up within the last couple months but it's quickly becoming a favorite amongst locals (like Alvin Kamara of the New Orleans Saints) and tourists alike!

Well, your humble Yelp art guide and art aficionado, William B, is here to tell you that Gallery Orange, in the Crescent City, is the real deal. William B has procured many works from several artists who call GO home (the likes of Lopez, Brady, Mills and Kemp to name just a few). It's been an immense pleasure to fill the home of William B with these visual treasures. Further, he has had the pleasure of discovering untaped/undiscovered artists, and bringing them to the attention of a myriad of new art lovers. I encourage each of you, upon venturing to the City That Care Forgot, to saunter down Royal St. in the FQ, find Miss Tracy, and make one of her treasures yours. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.
