Edgar Degas House Historic Home And Museum - A 19th-century mansion with guided tours by Degas' great-grandnieces and Creole breakfast service

Located in New Orleans' historic Treme district, this celebrated New Orleans hotel occupies the former residence of French Impressionist Master Edgar Degas. The Edgar Degas House Historic Home And Museum showcases reproductions of Degas' work, including family portraits, equestrian scenes, and dancing figures on walls painted in Parisian Gold and Impressionist Rose. Guest rooms and suites, named after Musson-Degas family members, occupy the second and third floors. The property features a French Quarter-style courtyard, Victorian parlors, and a gift shop offering Degas-related items including documentaries, books, and sculptures. A Creole breakfast service operates from September through May, with both indoor and outdoor seating options. The museum provides guided tours led by Degas' great-grandnieces, including the award-winning 'Edgar Degas House Creole Impressionist Tour.' The property sits along Esplanade Avenue, with a bus stop directly in front offering 20-minute service intervals to the French Quarter.

Pros

The museum offers art lessons with drawing materials provided

Tours include viewing of the documentary 'Degas in New Orleans, a Creole Sojourn'

Complementary secured parking lot accommodates up to 90 vehicles

Featured among prestigious landmarks by Frommer's alongside the Empire State Building

Cons

Breakfast service unavailable June through August

Walking to French Quarter not recommended after sunset

“Stepping into this historic home is like entering a living canvas, where the spirit of Edgar Degas lingers; the family's descendants lead tours, offering personal stories that enrich the experience. The French Quarter-style courtyard and Creole breakfasts add local flavor, while its location near jazz clubs keeps you connected to New Orleans' vibrant culture. I think art lovers and history buffs will find its unique charm irresistible.”
