Come see one of the few museums in the world dedicated entirely to Voodoo art at the Historic Voodoo Museum in New Orleans! Not only will you get to see taxidermy, shrines, voodoo dolls, gri-gri bags, and mummified animals. But you will also get to see the kneeling bench that once belonged to the famed Voodoo priestess Marie Laveau.
