Beautiful and inspiring pieces at a reasonable price

Had to get my art fix. It's a beautiful museum that offers special events and theater. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable.

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.

Small museum with interesting works of art and some rare and beautiful Chinese jade pieces. Museum is located in the fifth floor and their gift stone on the first floor.

A very big honor too have Central High school Jazz Band playing here. Thank you to Patrick Bordelon for making this happen. Also, thank you, accommodating special seating arrangements to the Manship theater staff.

I knew that I would be visiting Baton Rouge so what I did is I went on groupon and searched things to do in Baton Rouge. I was able to find the Groupon for LSU museum. I really didn't know what to expect but they met my expectations.

My daughter and I literally really enjoyed it. The price was so affordable that I paid. It was around $5 for the both of us.

There was a lot of nice artwork in the museum and the people there were really nice and friendly they even have a gift shop attached. I loved how my daughter and I got to bond during that visit to LSU museum today.

Beautifully maintained collection of art with descriptive texts located at the 5th floor. It is free for the LSU affiliated people and $5.50 for others to enter. Currently covers a collection of silverware and ceramics, portraits, and contemporary arts, among others. Great place to spend your weekends exploring.

Looks really great! The photos by Children are thought provoking. Nice downtown location. A group of children on a field trip were fascinated by the quirky schedule of the water sprouts.
