This was an incredible place to visit. I learned so much about the state, the area and its history! The exhibits were so well done and made the information so easy to understand. Very visual. So glad we got to go - great way to spend a few hours

I got to to a gallery with the Shreveport Writers Club and the Shreveport Art Club. The space was amazing for the show. Those who participated and attended had a great time. Everyone that worked with us were very nice and socialable.

The dioramas were VERY impressive! We had a great time wandering through this museum... and I must admit that we’re usually not museum people. This is a great place to start your day of exploring (maybe before you hit the machines). Haha

My first visit to this great exhibit celebrating the history of Louisiana especially Caddo territory. They use diaramas & artifacts.

Staff is friendly and informative. The exhibits are eye catching and well laid out. We will be back!

Very enjoyable, clean we learned a lot and plan on going back

Great place to bring kids to learn about Louisiana history. The dioramas are so well put together. Theres no cost

I could have spent much more time checking out this place, it was not as detailed about some subjects as I would have liked, but it was a very pleasant walk though for me and my partner, the building is clean and impressive, the staff were very friendly and welcoming. They had 1 exhibit when we visited and it was very good, with elaborately decorated shoes, hats and Mardi gras apparel. Im definitely glad that we went.

I spent 3 hours walking around this well laid out museum. They have an amazing display of history and art. The miniature dioramas are some of the best I have ever seen. This place alone made the trip worth it. Clear at least a couple hours and check them out. It is free to tour but be sure to give a donation they really deserve it.

Amazing Free Museum! So many incredible exhibits on American and Louisiana History! Took me 3 hours to go through!

Awesome little museum! The dioramas are awesome and the artwork by high schoolers fabulous!

Awesome lesson in some of the histories of Louisiana. Work the time. Well done!

Very nice. Great dioramas and Interesting artifacts.

So much incredible history & information provided about items on display. Quiet, lovely atmosphere. Very friendly, professional staff. A place to get lost in time enjoying looking at so many times interesting exhibits.

We loved visiting the Louisiana State Museum. The building was built in the 1940s and the architecture is incredible. Inside, the entire museum is made in a circle. The outside of the city is packed full of beautiful, intricate dioramas that were exquisitely made. There is also a long boat over 1000 years old. Lots to see and learn. Best of all, admission is free. Be sure to visit this incredible museum if you have the chance.

Have to go see it. Love the dioramas. Interesting artifacts from the past.

What a great place and a great timeline of history!

This place is so interesting. I absolutely love the 21 dioramas. They recreate compelling depictions of Louisiana agriculture and industry around 1940.Its all free, and its so easy to get to. For anyone concerned about the location, its safe.

My husband and the red shirt his blood pressure shot up and everyone helped us lower his blood pressure I would like to thank all the people that were there that helped us that day they did a great job pulling him off and taking good care of us

I really enjoyed my time there with our family, we spent about an hour walking around. I feel like we could go back and learn even more. Theres so much history and I really enjoyed the dioramas. Everyone was nice and friendly.

There is a lot of local history in this museum. Those who came when younger can see some of the favorites. I did enjoy seeing new things like the car. Learning Cedar Grove had a car dealership in the early 1900s. Cone and see.

This museum is super cool. The dioramas are very well done and interesting. The flower garden is lovely and this just an overall very interesting place with a pleasant feeling of nostalgia.

This is a gem to behold, whether you are an art lover or a history buff. There are many art pieces showing La history preserved like no other Museum in the State. I went to see a presentation on the history of the Caddo Indians as well as a book signing. The cake pictured was delicious.

Its pretty cool to see the past and what is now in our local community and how things grow...nice and inspring..my wife and I enjoyed.

American history, a lot of interesting stuff, recommend, take your time.

Great place to take the kids. Rich history presented in large display cases mounted along the wall, beautifully crafted taxidermy, and a great art room all held my 10 year olds attention quite well. I enjoyed it quite a bit too. There are great write ups offering explanations and information in every exhibit, so if you take your time and study everything, you can easily spend an hour and a half in the museum. But if you just want to walk around with your kids and look at all the cool stuff, you can spend 20 to 30 minutes and see it all. Theres a circular walkway that takes you through the entire Museum, but look for the wing off to the side where they have an art gallery. Some very nice art there. There are a few nice Native American exhibits there too, including a very long thin wooden Boat carved out of the trunk of a tree.

Loved this place since I was a lad!

This is a fun and free place museum to explore. We visited when the Pinball exhibit was visiting so we got a chance to play some of these old machines. The dioramas are great to view as your read about the states information as you walk the building. One section is dedicated to local Caddo Native American artifacts including a canoe.

I enjoyed it and I got to experience it with my baby girl

I entertained friends from out of state. Since they were not familiar with Louisiana Culture & History I took them here to the Louisiana State Exhibit Museum. What was intended to be a 1 1/2 hour walk through turned into 3 1/2 hours of a Cultural, Historical & Economic tour.This very large and well done museum takes the visitor through both geologic and cultural Prehistory of Louisiana, touches upon many facets of State history, cultural diversity, industry and agriculture that sets Louisiana apart.The building is itself historic and unique in its archetechtural style. It has the amenities of seating at regular intervals so one might take time to enjoy a display. There are both clean restrooms and water fountains.The entire staff is both friendly and helpful. This wonderful facility is open to the public at no cost. It is a real treasure to have this in Shreveport!

Every Northwest Louisian should come enjoy this culturally rich snapshot of our heritage.

A worthwhile stop for adults and families with pre-teen and older children. The museum has extensive dioramas, intricately & beautifully executed, of the entire states economic history. What was expected to be a quick visit turned into 2 1/2 hours viewing a wide-ranging array of fascinating artifacts, exhibits and displays in a lovely old building. An added delight was the Hoover Watercolor Society Annual Juried Art exhibit. No admission charge for the museum or the art exhibit.*The huge stuffed alligator lacks a descriptive card... who was he, how did he come to be at the museum?

I love old art deco buildings. This is a wonderful example of the period. The building is circular and this is charming as one wanders through the exhibits. I found the GPS is a bit confused to find the place, and seems to take you to the back fence. Dont be alarmed. just move around to the front and enjoy. The museum is free. It has so much about Louisiana it could take a short novel to cover what is in the building. the mini dioramas were particularly well done and the information very informative. Take a couple hours to tour. It was a wonderful break from the hot muggy weather on the day I visited. This is a nice stop for sure.

Interesting and informative place to visit, with curators who truly appear to care about their work in educating the public. Also, it has a wonderful courtyard, with enchanting local plants/flowers and a a delightful water fountain.

The Louisiana state exhibit museum is fantastic. The dioramas and Exhibits are intricate and very interesting. The museum displays items dating back historically to the founding of our country, and continuing in a linear fashion to the present day. There is also a lot of agricultural history and detailed displays showing methods of Mining and farming, Etc used over the last hundred years. We went through the museum in a very leisurely fashion and it took us two and a half hours.

Have seen it since I was a child.

What a treasure this State of LA provides. Educational & full of wonder. Clean, easy access ; perfect for family, youth & group visits. Free too! Also has an art gallery & more. Look up web site.

Great dioramas of many aspects of farm life. Very well done!

The staff is so friendly and the exhibits are so informative. A true North Louisiana Treasure

Its free! And it is quite large, but best of all there is a park in the back that is breath taking. Youre not allowed to take pictures, but who cares its free to go back and see everything all over again.

Great museum full of artifacts and neat dioramas. Loved seeing the ancient American Indian canoe found and recovered by a local family.

If U do not stop in you are missing out. Amazing museum with plenty to see, and many surprises!

One of my absolute favorite museums. Its a wonderful selection of history from the area and the dioramas are spectacular. Id give it 5 stars if they were open past 4 or available on the weekends. Hard to plan a visit if you have a job.

This place has a lot to look at with a lot of history. It has all kinds of things from mammoths, to fishing equipment, to civil war memorabilia.

Went with family. Very nice

This museum has excellent displays on the history of this state. A great mix of science and history is prevalent. The displays are very stimulating and have a lot of knowledge and insights to offer.
