I went to both, a single day apart, and I'd say the Whitney changed me forever, and I've already forgotten Oak Alley. Oak Alley tells you what you already know, whereas the Whitney opens your eyes to whole other parts of history that you'll be wondering why you've not heard before. Some of the exhibits there are permanently in my mind and I still get chills thinking about them. The Whitney was top-notch and truly educational; I recommend it a great deal more than Oak Alley.
