Reviews of Capitol Park Museum (Museum)

Henderson Cunningham

I absolutely love Capitol Park Museum. It is the bestmuseum in Baton Rouge. The exhibits are fun and the art galleries upstairs are always a delight and change quite often. The exhibits upstairs really give you insight to Louisiana. Definitely a place to go to if in Louisiana!

Merrill Hess

A fine museum celebrating the history and culture of Louisiana. A few of the highlights include a complete shrimp fishing boat, a Civil War era submarine, and a mock-up of Cosimo Matassa's recording studio with original equipment. Matassa's studio recorded many early artists who helped launch rock and roll - Fats Domino, Allen Tousaint, Little Richard, Lee Dorsey, and many others.

Excellent museum

Shurlocke Errat

Devoted to everything pertaining to Louisiana. Louis Armstrong, Huey Long. From the beginning with first settlers and the Louisiana purchase to Mardi Gras celebrations. Won't be bored here. Marvelous museum covering all of Louisiana. Done in sections. Covers history, cultures, foods. Separate sections for the history of jazz, mardis gras and native americans. A real gem

Hugo Hackenbush

$6 admission. Plan on 2 hours. Great Civil War section. Museum is "The history of Louisiana" oriented in a progressive manner: Spanish, British, French, Confederate, to U.S., Agriculture, Marti Gras, etc.. High quantity displays and many original artifacts. However: bring earplugs - many loud displays - you hear 2 or 3 simultaneously while reading unrelated signs, and be advised that on weekdays elementary school field trips - 500 unrestrained, unsupervised, undisciplined, very vocal children - who are not as interested in museums as those of us who paid - will be running around and yelling.

I had a great time at this museum and my daughter was thoroughly entertained. The people working there were very helpful and the exhibits were both educating and visually appealing. My family had a great time and I would recommend this to any family looking to have a good time in Baton Rouge.

Ryan Wockenfuss

I wish I could give this 6 stars. We weren't even planning on visiting this place, but a volunteer at the New State Capital suggested it. It might be one of the best Museum visits I have ever had. I don't even have much interest in the history of Louisiana, but this was unbelievable. Cost is $6 to get in, but it is more than worth it. They take you through the Purchase, through the various wars, Huey Long, Satchmo, life on the river, history of slavery and food production. They have a full size shrimping boat and combine. That is all on the first floor. The second floor is a walkthrough the various regions of Louisiana with details about the various music, festivals, celebrations, customs, traditions, languages, etc. It was so well done and put together. I can't compliment this place enough. We are planning a second visit because we ended up taking so much time in this place and we still felt we could have spent another hour. Go see this place. Amazing.

Everardo Recendiz

Very interesting compilation of historic and cultural elements of the state of Louisiana. Very affordable for a museum of such quality. Worth the visit, I wish I have had a couple of more hours to go through everything in more depth.

This museum was awesome!!! So super proud of my Louisiana heritage. Here the past and present collide into a beautiful collection from all areas of our great state. I could have stayed here for hours but we were on a time crunch and with a group. My 11 year old who isn't typically a museum buff, begged me to bring her back so we can have more time. We will be back.

Imdadul Islam

Lori Joseph

Set up a wedding for my employer, Billy Heroman Flowerland. The staff was exceptional!! Ms. Ashley was great to work with!

Rebecca Mixon

Our students really seemed to enjoy the museum. I wish we'd had more time or perhaps a guided tour from someone who could have brought some of it to life for them. They were particularly interested in the music, Mardi Gras, and slavery sections because they learned things they'd never heard before.

David Coarsey

Awesome venue.

It was well done. Don't miss it. Takes about 2 hours

Emma Sanchez

The museum was highly recommended to us by a staffer at the State Capitol, and we were not disappointed. It's huge, with one floor devoted to local history and a second floor covering local culture. Both sets of exhibits are great, although the cultural stuff is more entertaining (think food, language, Mardi Gras, etc.) while the history is more informative

Ralph Hott

Very nice.

Patrick Scieller

Très intéressant pour se faire une idée de la Louisiane et de son histoire en un seul endroit

Lots of great exhibits here! Very colorful and educational displays! We enjoyed our visit very much!

Melissa Moore

My boyfriend and I visited the museum on a Thursday which gave us ample time to linger at each exhibit and just relish the history and time we spent learning about this great state. We have been here for two n half years working and travel nationwide but absolutely love the rich history of Louisiana. If you have a chance take the time to stand still and learn.

Ben Kempton

Really cool place to visit. There was a lot of information on Louisiana from the foundation of the state to the music and the impact the state has as a whole. I was blown away seeing the artifacts from Louis Armstrong, amazing to see history that up close and personal. The most amazing part was seeing the hearse that carried Dr. King. I stood there for at least 5 minutes just in awe at how close I was to someone so important to our history. A truly humbling experience,and that is an understatement as I really don't have words to describe the power I felt there.

Yvonne Alley

Really well done! We went on a Saturday and it must have been an anomaly as there was hardly anyone there. Really enjoyed Louis Armstrong and cultural upstairs exhibits.

Helen Z

Very informative

Great little museum. The exhibits are well put together and I enjoyed learning about the history and culture of Louisiana. As an added bonus there was an art gallery displaying art created by Louisiana artists. Thoroughly enjoyable and would be a great place for kids and families.

China SimpSon

Great place for all ages

Kevin L

Covers a lot of LA history such as wars, jazz / music, Mardi gras, industry, and various people. Don't skip the 2nd floor _ it covers the Mardi Gras, musical history & regional hi-lites. It's directly in front of the new State Capitol & is free. Parking is curbside & can be tricky. If you're in the area visiting or passing through you should make time to visit.

Marc Guillot

(Translated by Google) Very good reception, very interesting exhibition (Original) Très bon accueil, exposition très intéressante

Musée très ludique. Beaucoup de choses à voir mais pas mal de répétition et trop d'infos en même temps. Mais c'est marrant

Meagan With Summer

This museum is so awesome. Really goes into incredible detail on the history of La and has beautiful exhibits for each thing. Upstairs is more about music, Mardi Gras and the Louisiana lifestyle. Would highly recommend going to this museum. On the first sunday of each month it's free admission!
