Rex: The 150th Anniversary of the School of Design

Featuring  over sixty extravagant costumes of New Orleans' foremost Mardi Gras krewe's kings, queens, and courtiers in a collection spanning a century, Rex will celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Rex Organization this year. The first daytime parade in modern Carnival set the standard of excellence that New Orleanians now expect from New Orleans Mardi Gras, and continues to inspire other organizations across the country. In addition to the Louisiana State Museum's unrivaled collection of costumes, the exhibition will also feature dozens of sets of rare crown jewels, recently acquired European collections, and other rarely seen artifacts. On exhibit at the Presbytere until December 2022. louisianastatemuseum.org.
