Actually, the New Orleans Historic Voodoo Museum is at 724 Dumaine in the
French Quarter. I don't believe that they run workshops <g>, but they do
have tours of voudoun-associated sites (like Marie Laveau's home and grave),
viewings of "authentic" rituals, as well as having an in-house Mambo who
performs personal rituals and makes up personal gris-gris. I've been there
a couple of time with out-of-town visitors and it is an interesting mix of
real objects and the most outrageous creations, all interpreted by a very
sincere guide.
