The stunning interiors and glorious gardens of New Orleans’s unrivaled jewel and architectural masterpiece. Longue Vue House and Gardens, accredited by the American Alliance of Museums and listed as a national historic landmark, was designed and built between 1934 and 1942 by landscape architect Ellen Biddle Shipman and architects Charles and William Platt for Edgar Bloom and Edith Rosenwald Stern, New Orleans’s foremost mid-twentieth-century philanthropists and civil-rights activists. The mansion and its surrounding eight acres of garden spaces, with varied designs ranging from the formal to the wild, draw upon Southern architectural traditions and native Louisiana flora, even as they echo the contemporaneous garden-design movement that set the stage for the creation of some of the most breathtaking garden estates in the country. Lush photography, supporting architectural drawings, and an informative text bring the main house and gardens to life and establish the estate as an enduring symbol to its creators’ contributions to building a just society.

The Pelican State boasts not only museums devoted to art and history, but also to aviation, medicine, and politics. All are profiled here, in the most authoritative guide of its kind available. Through their thorough research, the authors have uncovered many hidden gems along Louisiana's back roads. Among them is the only museum in the United States that presents a history of sulfur mining-Brimstone Museum in Sulphur, Louisiana. Better-known museums include the Cabildo in New Orleans, where the transfer of the Louisiana Territory from Spain to France, and from France to the United States took place in 1803. More than 170 museums offer something for everyone. From the Arna Bontemps African-American Museum and Culture Center in Alexandria to the Port Hudson State Commemorative Area Museum in Zachary, the authors have traveled Louisiana from the north to the south and have found every museum in their path.
