JAMNOLA is an absolute must if you're in New Orleans. It's one of the most creative and joyful experiences I've had in the city. Every room is bursting with color, imagination, and local personality -- it feels like stepping into New Orleans' inner spirit. The tour guides really make the experience. They're fun, knowledgeable, and clearly love what they do. They share great little stories and cultural insights that give the art so much meaning without ever feeling like a lecture. This isn't just a place to take cool photos (though you definitely will!). It's a thoughtful tribute to the art, music, and history that make New Orleans so special. You leave with a deeper appreciation for the city -- and with a huge smile on your face. Whether you're visiting or you live here, JAMNOLA is 100% worth it. Go. You'll be glad you did. read more

I CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS HIGHLY OR FAST ENOUGH. This experience is truly magical-it is a feast for the eyes, and it is made by local artists celebrating New Orleans music, art and culture. The only reason my photos here are so few is because it is something you need to see for yourself. I left absolutely charmed. read more

From the service we received upon entry to the details, the hostess provided throughout the beginning of the tour. I loved that we have the opportunity to take our own pictures and go through the rest of the exhibit on our own. It was a super cool experience! I ended up buying some things out of the gift shop on my way out and I definitely would recommend you do the same. read more

Okay, let's start by saying, this is a really dope spot for the gram and TikTok so make sure to charge your phones lol Next tip: if it's packed, you'll have to push to get your pictures because folks can't always buy a clue and move it along. This was my dilemma lol the family before me was taking forever and your girl just wanted some photos! Anywho! I got lots of pictures by letting them explore one room while I enjoyed the other room. It's a rather short exhibit so don't expect to do a lot of walking. But, it's really content worthy and that's what I loved. The artwork spoke volume and gave you a beautiful inside view of NOLA. What I appreciated was also how they incorporated a sustainable approach...go see it! No spoilers. But this place was vibrant! And the NOLA art, music, food and culture echoed throughout each room. It was an art lovers dream to simply walk and admire the work. I really enjoyed myself and did it in 30 minutes lol I'm sure that you can walk through it faster or slower, take your pick! Just be sure to capture great pictures! I should mention that it is a self guided tour after one of the attendants gives a little background and ground rules. Love love love it and encourage folks to support this business and visit! read more

This is a pretty cool interactive museum & I found it by a ad online. You have to get a ticket to walk through & you walk through at your own pace which is pretty cool. They have a walk you touch & it meshes music in the room. There's a lobster by a real piano where you can be Alicia Keys too lol. There's artistic walls & huge sculptures. It's also good for adults or kids. read more

Getting here was a bit of a walk from the French Quarter, but I was really excited to see the immersive rooms and pieces from local artists. The first few rooms were a bit difficult to get photos in since they let a large group in at a time. Luckily, we were the first group to arrive, so when we went ahead a bit we were able to have many of the rooms more to ourselves for photos and also learning from the guides who had lots of knowledge both about the art pieces themselves but also on the culture of New Orleans. I really liked some of the interactive pieces, but I did wish the place were a bit bigger. read more

Jamnola - Art Tours Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Good photo ops but overpriced. I would suggest using Groupon to get a good discount. I prefer to explore on my own when in museums so I think guest should be offered the choice of a guided tour or a self guided. I enjoyed the video. I understand a new location is coming soon and I have high hopes t. This is a great start but expansion is needed to tell the story of beloved NOLA . read more

Me and my mother paid Jamnola a visit this evening and were shocked. The employees are very nice and polite. You are able to purchase tickets online or in person. It's starts off as a tour and then you get to explore the museum after the first two rooms. Each section was amazing and you never knew what awesome art would be next. This is the best museum I've ever visited. 5 read more

Jamnola - A work of art - Art Tours Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

The history of NOLA was inspiring and shows how you rich the culture is there. We had an amazing historian that shared with us how he left to go to Colorado for 18 years and had recently returned and felt right back at home. The art work is nice and is all from recycled materials. You cannot tell, this is true artistry. My cousin found this place on TikTok and it did not disappoint. The tickets were around $32 pp, you have to book online, you cannot book at the site. read more

This is a really unique place. Our tour guide Savannah was knowledgeable, helpful, and fun. Some of the rooms are really over the top (particularly the glitzy bayou, crawfish, and music rooms). Some rooms a little less impressive but fine. Price a little high for how small it is - we were in and out in 50 minutes- but we like supporting artists and would overall recommend. Nice educational video in the beginning about Mardi Gras Indian Chiefs. read more

If you want to learn about culture and history of New Orleans you would love Jamnola! It was a unique experience filled with incredible art sculptures, paintings and fun themed rooms! We had a tour guide for the majority of the tour and she explained the meanings of the art and history of each room. The pictures you get to take are extraordinary and will make your vacation photos worth it for the Gram or Facebook. Jamnola was a fun and unique experience. Check out my photos to see! read more

It never fails to amaze me how many talented people there are in New Orleans. Each room is full of creativity with historical context which is partly what makes this city such a gem. This attraction is for all ages as the bright colors and aesthetics will grab anyone's attention. JAMNOLA highlights local artists, many of their names you just may recognize. It's a short exhibit and was over sooner than I hoped, but I am glad we went. read more

JamNola is an awesome spot filled with local imagination, information in history all in one with an explosion of colors and creativity on top. Your guided through this warehouse of imagination and fun. Where you get to experience history, art and culture from an local artist 's point of view. You also get to interact and take pictures with the props in certain areas. There's lots of detail and something different in every room. Photo ops you'll be able to get a price list and very unique. I would highly recommend any visiting group. Our locals check this spot out. read more

This is a particularly guided/self guided tour around several rooms of New Orleans. Not really my cup of tea but the staff was nice. Lots of options to take different pictures with props.

We've never been to the old location so we don't have anything to compare it to but this location was fun! You can buy your tickets online in advance. The first couple of rooms have a guided tour and then you can free roam. I'm not sure if the bottleneck happens with the first couple of rooms due to the guided tour or just everyone's fascination. There were a lot of people there to assist and answer questions and provide knowledge about the upcycled art. It is pricey but I think locals get a discount. read more

Jamnola - Exit - Art Tours Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

A small fun collection of about 17 different exhibits celebrating New Orleans' Joy Art and Music (JAM). The warehouse is located in a kind of out-of-the-way spot - we walked to it, but I recommend taking a ride share. You buy tickets for entrance on-line only, but fortunately there were a few spots still left when we arrived. Allocate yourself about an hour to wander around, including the gift shop. The exhibits start with a tour guide, who gives you a few details about what you're seeing, and then you are left to ramble at your own pace. My friend and I had a surprisingly good time here, just laughing and taking pictures. I loved that many of the pieces lended themselves to being interactive. My favorite sections were the ones with the crawfish sunbathing, in the bathtub, playing piano, and stirring a pot of boil and the one with the leaves, where you could write your own inspiring message on a leaf post-it and stick it on the wall. The kids that were part of our tour seemed to absolutely love it, but it's even fun for adults, and we ended up with some great pictures. read more

What a gorgeous immersive museum experience. The tour guide was educational and passionate about the exhibits. Walking around the museum and feeling the movement and emotion behind the art showed us a side of New Orleans we wouldn't have experienced without JAMNOLA. Thank you to the artists. read more

JamNOLA was amazing! We were so glad we were able to visit this for our first time in NOLA. My only complaint is I wish it was longer, but for sure it was a quality over quantity type of deal. Each room was full of art and super interesting. Some rooms even had some points of interaction. $30 per adult for entry fee wasn't bad at all. The first few rooms, someone escorted us, but after that, we were left to go at our own pace throughout the rest of the museum. read more

Jamnola is such a fun immersive experience no matter your age. Each and every crevice exemplifies the culture and spirit of New Orleans. My personal favorite is the very short Mardi Gras documentary.

Jamnola - Lobby fun! - Art Tours Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

JAMNOLA (Joy, Art, & Music New Orleans) was such a fun time. I live for a good photo opportunity, and what better place for photo opportunities in New Orleans than a selfie museum with the theme of "celebrating the iconic art, music, food and theatrics of New Orleans". There are so many cool exhibits to strike a pose and/or listen to good music around the entire museum, all of the guides there were all so vibrant and fun, my friends and I really enjoyed ourselves. There's also a cute gift shop at the end you can buy souvenirs in. The only downside of our experience I could think of was that sometimes we were rushed through certain parts of the museum because they try to avoid too many groups bunching up in certain areas; however, that wasn't a huge problem because I watched America's Next Top Model all throughout quarantine so I knew how to get a good picture fairly quickly. lol But forreal, JAMNOLA is a must if you like to take pictures, learn about culture, or just want to do something fun in New Orleans. read more

Planned a trip to New Orleans and while putting together the itinerary of things to do, I came across a TikTok of this place so I added it to the list of things to do. This place was an absolute gem! From the time we walked in, to the time we were finished! The staff were amazing, friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. This immersive art museum is a must! It took us about an hour to walk through each room and fully take in all of the detail. Plenty of opportunities for photo ops. I like the first part of the tour where they give a history lesson of New Orlean's culture. The artists of the exhibits did an extraordinary job capturing the culture and telling stories through art. I really can't say which room was my favorite because they all were! From the crawfish exhibit, the musical pioneers exhibit at the end, each room was truly wonderful. I wasn't sure what to expect when I first came here but it exceeded my expectations! Also, you receive a souvenir cup at the end which was the perfect touch! Highly recommend! read more

Somehow after so much research on things to do prior to coming to NOLA, I didn't even know this place existed until accidentally coming across a TikTok. It's important to know right of the bat that the tickets for this museum are pricey (over $30,) but we definitely felt like it was worth it. Each room you walk into has a different theme, and is painted from floor to ceiling in crazy cool colors! There are an endless amount of photo ops (perfect for your Insta pics!) and even a few interactive spots. The beginning of the museum will be guided to give you a feel for the place, but afterward it is self-guided so you can go at your own pace. We loved JAMNOLA! I'd recommend it to anyone looking for something 'not typical' to do in New Orleans. read more

My friend and I had a great time at JAM NOLA. We were there the first weekend in May. Everything was so well done and colorful. I loved the interactive aspects to the displays. I recommend it to anyone interested in New Orleans and its music culture. The people were nice and friendly. A special shout out to Josh who works in the gift shop. We enjoyed talking to him. He's so vibrant and fun. read more

Such a fun experience! When in New Orleans, you must plan to pop into JamNola for fun photo ops. The staff was friendly and welcoming. Each room is filled with art popping off the walls making for fun-filled photo opportunities that you will cherish for years to come! Best of all, they have a great gift shop filled with unique gifts from local artists and one-of-a-kind shirts and hats that you will not find at other places in the city, and you'll wear them all the time while reminiscing on your good times in Nola. A must-do when visiting! Highly recommend! read more

I've been really feeling these types of art museums. More exciting than the typical paintings on the wall types (nothing against those). As soon as we stepped foot in the door we were greeted by the host and she directed us to the waiting area and gave us a brief rundown and the passed it over to the guide. The guide was just as friendly and provided a bit of history about some of the artwork and displays in the first few rooms. After that, you are free to roam on your own. Please clear out space on your phone beforehand because you will definitely have the urge to just keep flicking away. As you walk through the exhibits you will randomly be greeted by a staff member who will offer their assistance and provide you with more fun facts. read more

I randomly found this exhibit by googling before we even got to New Orleans, it just seemed awesome and perfect. I love things like this, it looks cool on Instagram, it's fun and my son is entertained. Anyway we showed up late which you aren't supposed to do but the woman was nice enough to let us get into the group that just started. It's like 2 rooms or something of a guide then self guided. It was really cool and we had a blast. I only wish I got my son popping out of the lobster pot but nooooo he refused lol. I'd definitely recommend this place for fun. It was something fun to do before heading to see family in the burbs. This was one of our highlights from our vacation this place. read more
