Our museum space is the creation of resin expert and artiordinaire Katherine St. Paul Hill

For years, Katherine has been making amazing costumes and parading with us.

For the past two years, Katherine's efforts have helped transform an old warehouse into a work of handmade art.

In the museum, she works to create 'bean murals' and preserve the 'bean suits' our krewe members create.

Visit the museum to see her work and learn about our walking parade tradition.
