The Louisiana lifestyle has always jived well with the creative lifestyle. As a result, the state has produced countless artists, writers and musicians over the centuries. Others have moved here from around the country and the world, beguiled by a way of life they couldnÃt find elsewhere. So some of the worldÃs great works of art, literature and music have sprouted from Louisiana soil. Add in the stateÃs enthralling history, and itÃs easy to see why museums are so numerous here.
New Orleans has dozens of acclaimed museums featuring art, culture and history. Try the New Orleans Museum of Art, the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, the National WWII Museum, or the Cabildo, which was the site of the signing of the Louisiana Purchase and the former seat of Spanish Government in New Orleans.
Or visit any of the dozens of other fascinating museums operated by the State of Louisiana. Check out the Opelousas Museum of Art, the North Louisiana Military Museum in Ruston, the Old State Capitol in Baton Rouge, or the Delta Music Museum in Ferriday, a tribute to the wealth of musical talent from the area, including musicians like Jerry Lee Lewis and PeeWee Whittaker.
