Reviews
"The whole building is quite a spectacle! The staircase and stained glass ceiling are so beautiful. Lots of information about Louisiana's history."
"A beautiful treasure from Louisiana that we all should visit and enjoy. It's very amazing how much history these walls can teach you and how, after years and years, these beauty is still standing. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Free. There's meter parking on both sides of the building."
"What an awesome museum! It’s absolutely extraordinary that this historic building is still standing! Just walking up to it felt really cool! The staff was really nice as well and the whole building is so well kept. I think my favorite part was seeing the ceiling mural. The colors and ambiance that it creates is amazing! Best free museum I’ve ever been to!"
"Louisiana's Old State Capitol sits on a hill overlooking the Mississippi River in downtown Baton Rouge. Completed in 1849, the castle-like fortress has been restored to its original grandeur. It houses both traditional and state-of-the-art interactive exhibits and a multi-media film presentation. Audio tours available in English, French, German and Spanish. Free admission. We parked our car at a public parking two blocks away from the museum. The parking cost 10 dollars a day. We walked to see the Mississippi River before entering the Old State Capital. The Capital is beautiful but small. The lady volunteer at the Capital told us about the history of the Capital. The stained glass was beautiful. The staircase was nice. The exhibition rooms were excellent."
"What a great spot! There is a video for $2 you can watch while there that should be better advertised, it was wonderful! It gives the history of the building and the evolution of how it came to be, then how it was restored. All of the exhibits were just perfect. I would recommend this for anyone in the area. The museum itself was free. You may have to pay for parking. I can not begin to say properly how beautiful this building is. Just come."
