Mardi Gras (I)

The House of Dance & Feathers is a cultural museum in the Lower 9th Ward of New Orleans.  This unassuming museum is located in the backyard of its creator and director, Ronald Lewis.  Its contents are a history lesson and celebration of Mr Lewis’ participation in the street cultures of New Orleans.  His stories rival his collections of gorgeous costumes and beadwork, photographs, paintings, and memorabilia.  It is an extraordinary place.
