Many a serious collector of fine art and
antiquities will be familiar with M.S. Rau Antiques in New Orleans’
French Quarter. What many of them might not realize is that the greatest
treasures in this renowned collection lie behind a secret door toward the back
of the building, which has been painted to look like a bookcase.
On the other side of the trick door, the secret room contains an astounding
variety of museum-caliber rare artifacts and art.
There paintings by greats such as Monet, Renoir, Norman Rockwell,
Winston Churchill and others; Napoleon’s death mask; an Enigma machine; an
etching by Rembrandt; furnishings that have been inspired by or adorned palaces
around the world; sculptural works and more.
Works you might expect to see in museums can be found here for
purchase, but you’ll still need a generous-sized budget if you plan to take
them home with you.
