A major feature is a series of 21 dioramas depicting life in the past, up to the late 1930's and early 1940's (when the dioramas were created). They are a reminder that life was not always as easy as it is today, showing people as they worked in agriculture and industries of the state in days gone by. Another feature exhibit shows a native American village. Other exhibits show objects of interest, including a cypress dugout canoe. One display case contains newspaper articles about Huey Long (check your history books if this name does not ring a bell -- even this Yankee has heard of the infamous Huey Long). Unfortunately little or no "hands on" stuff for the kids -- the building was opened in 1939, a little before such things became popular. Adults, on the other hand, should really enjoy the history to be found in the exhibits. Plan on spending a couple hours here as a minimum. There is enough variety in the exhibits and displays to pique the interest of most everyone.

The Louisiana Museum is a great way ft the history buff to spend a hot afternoon. Arrive early enough to spend some time outside to appreciate the WPA era design and detail. Then take time to circle the museum first taking in the detailed dioramas depicting life in Louisiana and the state's commerce. Then circle. Another to to view the historical exhibits from the state. The museum is dated when compared to today's electronic interactive museums, but the displays themselves are appropriate to the museum's atmosphere. Be aware the gates close at 4 PM.

Free museum in a beautiful building, it doesn't get much better than that. The inside has the stereotypical history stuff, but the wholly mammoth tusk & the Indian canoe exhibit stands out! Also they incorporate student art contests that are on display. Nice to see a museum get involved with the community

I was at the State fair and the Museum was part of it. Very educational to the local area. It explained the different periods of time up to present.

We went to this museum today with our kiddos on a whim. I can't believe how cool it was! And it's free! Lots to look at, lots to learn, very friendly staff. This was earsily our favorite place in Shreveport.

This is a nice little museum and has a lot more than I expected inside as it's free admission. Don't pass up on the small history lesson for the best price: FREE!

This museum is housed in a beautiful, immaculate Art Deco building, built in 1937. The building itself is just as great as the museum, which is filled with very informative dioramas that must have been loads of fun to build back in the day. I would definitely recommend this place to history buffs an Art Deco fans.

We were in Shreveport and decided to stop in this little museum. I say it is average based on size, depth of information and interactivity. It is a unique building and took about an hour to walk the entire circle and really take in the displays. The dioramas are better than average, and do a nice job of telling some Louisiana history. The multiple influences into the state's culture could have been explained fuller, but overall a nice quick summation of major history points. Not much to touch or interactive with, but it was laid out well, clean, staff friendly and worth the hour. We made a small donation upon leaving.

This was an awesome place to go to learn about Louisiana. My 13 yr old daughter and I had a great time looking at all of the exhibits they had. The best part was that it was free.

Free to take the family and learn about the history of La. Stuff that you will not find anywhere else. Great Artwork!
