The Mardi Gras Museum of Costumes and Culture features the private collection of Carl Mack, an accomplished performer known as The Xylophone Man, an entertainment provider, costumer and the Owner of Carl Mack Presents.

The collection, accumulated by Carl Mack over many years, shows his love and dedication to the fanfare and whimsy that makes Mardi Gras such a special event.

The Mardi Gras Museum is a Contemporary celebration with its finger on the pulse of the vast array of grassroots traditions of Mardi Gras revelers, Walking Clubs, Mardi Gras Indians, Cajun Mardi Gras, Buskers and Street Performers, Kings and Queens, and pageant masquerade balls, as well as the creativity and craftsmanship that goes into the creation of these fantastic costumes!
