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 couldn't find elsewhere. So some of the world's great works of art, literature and music have sprouted from Louisiana soil. Add in the state's enthralling history, and it's easy to see why museums are so numerous here.
