I wish I could give this 6 stars. We werent even planning on visiting this place, but a volunteer at the New State Capital suggested it. It might be one of the best Museum visits I have ever had. I dont even have much interest in the history of Louisiana, but this was unbelievable. Cost is $6 to get in, but it is more than worth it. They take you through the Purchase, through the various wars, Huey Long, Satchmo, life on the river, history of slavery and food production. They have a full size shrimping boat and combine. That is all on the first floor. The second floor is a walkthrough the various regions of Louisiana with details about the various music, festivals, celebrations, customs, traditions, languages, etc. It was so well done and put together. I cant compliment this place enough. We are planning a second visit because we ended up taking so much time in this place and we still felt we could have spent another hour. Go see this place. Amazing.

Covers a lot of LA history such as wars, jazz / music, Mardi gras, industry, and various people. Dont skip the 2nd floor _ it covers the Mardi Gras, musical history & regional hi-lites. Its directly in front of the new State Capitol & is free. Parking is curbside & can be tricky. If youre in the area visiting or passing through you should make time to visit.

I had a great time at this museum and my daughter was thoroughly entertained. The people working there were very helpful and the exhibits were both educating and visually appealing. My family had a great time and I would recommend this to any family looking to have a good time in Baton Rouge.

Great little museum. The exhibits are well put together and I enjoyed learning about the history and culture of Louisiana. As an added bonus there was an art gallery displaying art created by Louisiana artists. Thoroughly enjoyable and would be a great place for kids and families.

Fun museum showing off Louisiana. Bottom floor has history of the Louisiana purchase and top floor has Madi gras, country music, and different cities located in Louisiana.

Fun, whimsical museum filled with history and information about Louisiana. Its a well laid out museum, with lots to see. Not like any other museum Ive ever visited.

One of the best tours I have ever been to. I went with my sons class field trip and it was priceless. I wish I would have had enough time to go up to the tower.

Great collection of Louisiana history and culture. The admission is very affordable. Parking close by is a little tricky but its worth the walk.

Hidden gem in Baton Rouge. Fantastic setting for events with stunning view of the State Capitol! Exhibits cover a lot of Louisianas history.

Much more than I anticipated the history, the beginnings of Jazz and Blues, and all early tools and machines....WELL DONE!!

So much information, somewhat interactive. We were there two hours, still didnt make it all the way through.

Pretty good place to get to know Louisiana. Just across from the state capitol which is a must to visit.
