I have never been to Louisiana before and found the museum to be very informative and educational. Lots of interesting displays and a lot of creativity was used to make each exhibit interesting.

A must see for any visitor or local. Very well done.

In the shadow of the current state capitol building, this large museum is a little know gem. It is free and comfortable and a real introduction to the history, cultural and people of Louisiana.

This wonderful, modern museum is one of Baton Rouge's best kept secrets. Situated walking distance from the State Capitol, the museum features hundreds of exhibits (many of them interactive) on the state's history, food, music, economy, and so much more. Children can explore using a scavenger hunt map, but adults will want to linger to listen to the music, and... More
