Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place indismissible
R.W. Norton Art Gallery
The R.W. Norton Art Gallery meeting at Shreveport American and European paintings, sculptures, rare books and a strong collection dedicated to the American West. Around the museum, the gardens planted with azaleas, camellias and shady paths change markedly in the spring.
Culture and heritage
Louisiana State Exhibit Museum
The Louisiana State Exhibition Museum in Shreveport is impressed by its Art Deco rotunda and dioramas dedicated to Louisiana's cultures, industries and landscapes. The showcases have an ancient exhibition style, but they offer a very visual look at cotton, oil, fishing, marshes and state trades.
Culture and heritage
Sci-Port Discovery Center
Sci-Port Discovery Center transforms science into interactive manipulations, experiments and installations on the Red River. It is a visit particularly suitable for families, with spaces where one touches, tests and observes rather than reading only panels, between astronomy, physics, human body and technology.
Culture and heritage
Shreveport Water Works Museum
The Shreveport Water Works Museum The industrial building, which has remained very legible, gives a concrete and unexpected visit, made of metal, bricks and mechanisms of real size. The building is located in a former pumping station where the machines, pipes, boilers and filters tell of the arrival of drinking water in the city.
