Synopsis

Discover the story behind Louisiana’s state museum in its early years and its push toward a lasting legacy. This nonfiction volume presents the two-year report of the Board of Curators, detailing plans, progress, and the challenges of building a premier museum in New Orleans. It covers the move to the Cabildo and Presbytere, the opening program, and the push for state support to secure the institution’s future.

The book explains how the museum grew from modest beginnings to a major cultural resource. It highlights exhibit space, collection scope, funding needs, and the daily work of curators, a curator, and staff as they remodel historic buildings and expand displays. It also chronicles key milestones, such as the planned opening in 1912 and the importance of public support for ongoing growth.
