Review:
If you are fascinated by the macabre and are an avid follower of murder and serial-killer stories, you will definitely enjoy a visit to the Museum of Death in New Orleans. This most unusual museum started off as a collection of “artworks” produced by convicted serial killers in prison. Eventually the founders of the museum, J D Healy and Catherine Schultz, were successful in obtaining a substantial collection of artifacts which were auctioned by the police after the Heaven’s Gate cult suicide investigation. Highlights of the museum include baby coffins, explicit photographs of slain humans, post-mortem videos and even a suicide machine.
Museum of Death, 227 Dauphine St, New Orleans, LA 70112, 04 593 3968
