The record — long form
The New Orleans Historic Voodoo Museum is Voodoo Charlie's collection — the 1972 museum that Charles Gandolfo opened on Dumaine Street, the two rooms of artifacts that are the French Quarter's voodoo archive. Marie Laveau's kneeling board is there; the human skulls are too.
The museum was the accident — the hairdresser who wanted a stable career, the insurance manager brother who helped him, the 'hodgepodge' of artifacts that became the religion's record. Neither brother practiced voodoo; they just knew New Orleans needed it.
The museum is still there — the dim rooms off Bourbon Street, the altar where visitors leave offerings, the priest who gives readings. The file keeps the Voodoo Museum: the 1972 founding, the Laveau artifacts, and the rooms that are voodoo's archive.
