The building was really nice. For an art museum, it was a bit small but that's to be expected in downtown Baton Rouge. The overall cleanliness was excellent. I would not recommend attending however, based on the amount of area that has been blocked off, seemingly due to a lack of things to put on display. This made the already small museum smaller. The art, while not to my liking, was spread about so as to make it take up more area than needed in at least half of the available space. If you arrive early the elevator to access the art museum does not start working until the minute they open.

My wife and I looked at the entire museum and it took us about 40 minutes, going slowly. If you're not the type of person to stand in front of an artwork for 3-5 minutes, you might find yourself done in 30 minutes. If you are that kind of person, budget 45 minutes, to an hour tops.

There's no way you take more than an hour here unless you fall asleep, work there, or you're an art student etc.
