The Louisiana Art & Science Museum, also known as LASM, sits at 100 River Road South in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. It brings two kinds of looking together under one roof: art galleries and science exhibits, with a planetarium among them.
What you can see
- Rotating art exhibitions, so the galleries change over time and a return visit may show something new.
- Hands-on science displays, designed for visitors to touch, try and explore rather than only look at.
- A planetarium, for those interested in the night sky and space.
The mix makes the museum suited to a varied group. An art lover and a curious child can each find a reason to stay, and the science side gives a family something active to do between galleries.
Learning for all ages
The museum also runs educational programs for visitors of all ages. These make it a sensible choice for school groups, families and adults who want to learn something beyond the displays themselves. For current programs and times, it is best to contact the museum directly by phone at +1-225-344-5272.
Planning your visit
Its riverside address places it in the city's centre, so it can be combined with other things to see and do in Baton Rouge. Allow time for both the art and the science sections, and check ahead for exhibition schedules if a particular show or the planetarium is important to your trip.
