Great educational museum for adults and children! A lot to see and a big space for the kids to have room to explore. Perfect summer day outing

An excellent museum featuring many wonderful dioramas depicting the evolution of Louisiana culture and economy. Beautiful art deco structure is very senior friendly. FREE ADMISSION. Ample parking. A hidden gem.

Absolutely fantastic museum! Those dioramas are so detailed, pieces of art! A great place to learn about the state of Louisiana.

Love this smallish yet very unique museum. The dioramas were astounding... absolutely mind-boggling the number of hours that went into creating them... and the talent! Other great world of art and a really interesting documentary in the auditorium. I really enjoyed this museum.

The detail in the dioramas is mind boggling. It had to have taken thousands of hours of highly skilled artist to do this. The more you look the more you see.
The building is a large donut. Around you go to finish where you started. You could spend all day here learning about the history of Louisiana through the informative dioramas, the artifacts, and the historical paintings. It is amazing. The dioramas each represent a way of life, a major event, an industry. or a period in history. It is like watching a historical movie, only nothing is moving.
It is free!

Very well designed. The dioramas were well-built and clearly showed images of the past, while having thorough descriptions of the events being displayed. All the little details were perfectly shaped. Very quiet as well, giving time to focus on the beautiful architecture. Lots of sitting areas so you can relax and enjoy the exhibits. I cannot believe this was free. Absolutely adored this museum. Keep up the great work!

We thought it would be a good idea to stop at this FREE museum while on a road trip to Dallas. I highly recommend visiting this museum. It was an excellent opportunity to learn more about the state. The building is beautiful and the exhibits consists of a bunch of amazing dioramas among other things. We were really impressed and spent an ample amount of time viewing the exhibits. I had no idea that salt mining was a thing in Louisiana and enjoyed learning more about it. I'd love to stop by again if I'm back in the area.
