About
The LSU Museum of Art sits on the campus of Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, at 100 Lafayette Street. It is both a museum and a place of study, which gives a visit a slightly different feel from a typical gallery: exhibitions sit alongside educational programs that connect the collection to the university's wider teaching.
What you will see
The museum presents contemporary and traditional art, with a collection that includes American and European works. Because the galleries rotate their exhibitions, what is on view can change over time, so a return visit may show a different selection from the one you saw before.
Planning a visit
- Location: On the LSU campus, at 100 Lafayette Street, Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
- Contact: +1-225-389-7200.
- Good for: Visitors interested in both established and modern art, and anyone curious about the university's cultural life.
Because the museum is part of the university campus, it pairs naturally with a walk around the grounds. Baton Rouge, the state capital of Louisiana, offers further places to explore nearby, so the museum can form one stop in a longer day in the city.
