Best secrets and other parallels between Artspace and Bossier City's Mardi Gras Museum

Jan Petiet, tour guide non pareil, is a member of the board at the Mardi Gras Museum, 2010 E. Texas St, Bossier. "If you haven't seen the museum in a while, you need to enjoy the changes we've made and the possibilities of this facility," she says.

Like Artspace, the Mardi Gras Museum is not open to the public all week. In fact, the MGM is open only Sat, 11 to 4 and Sun, 1 to 4 pm. But it is open by appointment any day.

The fantasy world of sequins and masks is the emphasis at the MGM. I can testify that it is a terrific place for a party, having led the second line there for visiting Texans. One very cool item is that the room is quickly configurable. Every display is mounted atop hidden rollers.

There's a clean new web site. Please see
mardigrasmuseum.org

Your hosts are Betty Bamonte, exec dir, and Carolyn Wroten, chairman of the board. Call 318-741-3019.
