The Museum's mission is to present and preserve the unique cultural traditions of New Orleans African American society, including Mardi Gras Indians, Jazz funerals, and Social Aid & Pleasure Clubs.
Sylvester Francis the founder tells the group about his life long experiences with the New Orleans culture with a physical piece of history for each memory. In a creole' cottage in the heart of the city he and the community share their culture to future generations and to visiting tourist. The Backstreet Museum is wealthy with artifacts from Mardi Gras costumes to footage of past parades. Being the only museum of its kind it brings a continuous growth to the city.
