M.S Rau is an experience that can be compared to a museum selling the items. Beauty is on display everywhere you turn, and on every floors. The lighting and climate control throughout is state of the art. As you enter the premises, all visitors are warmly greeted. The staff is knowledgeable and generous in sharing their knowledge. I recommend Micah if you have any questions about the Tiffany exhibit. New Orleans has much to offer, its greatest treasure in my opinion is M.S. Ray.
If you want to experience something like the Metropolitan Museum but don’t feel like flying to New York — this is the place. M.S. Rau is a museum-level gallery with jaw-dropping pieces, and you can enjoy it all without the crowds.
Amazing place with the most unusual treasure and incredible art! Rembrandt pieces! Jewels divine! Matt spoke so eloquently about the safe dating back to the 1700”s which was so intricate!! The King of Italy’s desk with the many hidden drawers- just fantastic! Do NOT miss this gem!!!
One of my favorite places in New Orleans! It’s really a museum where everything is for sale. There is priceless art (actually there is a price tag on it) but in reality the value of these pieces are incredible. It is an amazing experience to see so many antiques several centuries old as well as original art from world renowned artists. The staff is very friendly, knowledgeable and professional without being too over bearing like in other galleries. You must either make a special trip to New Orleans to visit M S Rau or make sure to add it to your visitors agenda. This last visit in November 2024, they hosted an impressive exhibit by Marc Chagall. 🤩🤩. Wow Wow I encourage you to visit soon.
This place offers an impressive array of antiques and art. The woman at the entrance was wonderful, providing us with a brief history of the family and tips on the best way to explore the collection. The space is beautifully curated—offering a museum-like experience where everything is available for purchase.
