New state museum opens

Thursday, April 6, 2006

The Louisiana State Museum in Baton Rouge is open. The facility sits on 3.27 acres across from the State Capitol. Eskew+Dumez+Ripple of New Orleans designed the building. The museum has more in common with Graceland or WIlly Wonka's Chocolate Factory than the Metropolitan Museum of Art. See Brian Baimonte's photos of the museum by clicking here.
