LOUISIANA STATE EXHIBIT MUSEUM
Shreveport

The Louisiana State Exhibit Museum opened in 1939 in the days of the New Deal public works program. The circular building is noted for its architecture which combines Neoclassical and Modern design. Architects were Edward F. Neild, D.A. Somdal and Ed F. Neild Jr., all of Shreveport. The museum is a member of the Smithsonian Institution Affiliations Program. It highlights 18 world-renowned dioramas created from beeswax by the museum's second director, the late Dr. Henry Brainerd Wright. Rotating exhibits, frescoes, or large murals of Louisiana scenes and the Indian Gallery are other points of interest. An auditorium with a spacious stage and seating capacity for 330 people is available for meetings.
