ABOUT.COM, April 8, 2012-- Anyone who has been to New Orleans has reason to return. Jambalaya. Jazz. Hurricane cocktails. Casinos. The French Quarter. Feeling like a glamorous Creole pirate.

But some visitors come to The Big Easy on a mission to go fishin' at M.S. Rau Antiques, in its third generation of wheeling and dealing.

M.S. Rau's 30,000-square-foot showroom is catnip to connoisseurs. Amongst them: Martha Stewart, Barbra Streisand, Oprah Winfrey, Nicolas Cage, a Whoopi Goldberg.

Here's what Whoopi makes of M.S. Rau: "I love the things I see, but the other thing about M.S. Rau is that I can ask them questions...afterwards you are just a little bit smarter than you were. Beauty and an education. What's better than that?"

See the astounding art, gorgeous gems, and stellar clientele of Nawlins treasure chest M.S. Rau.
