Louisiana Film Museum to Open September First
From the 1908 movie Faust, to the The Curious Case of Benjamin Button nearly a century later, Louisiana has been a popular location for the film industry. More than 400 major motion pictures and documentaries have been filmed in the Bayou State. Very soon, those interested in learning more about Louisiana’s film history will have a place to go: The Louisiana Film Museum (www.louisianafilmmuseum.org.)
The museum is scheduled to open September 1 at the Riverwalk Marketplace #1 Poydras Street (www.riverwalkmarketplace.com), inside of the Southern Food & Beverage Museum (http://southernfood.org/). It will feature memorabilia and displays, telling a detailed story of movies filmed in the state, as well as educational sessions and outreach for local students. The museum will also be available as a venue for private and corporate events after hours.
The museum is a 501(c) 3 corporation. In addition to ticket sales, its revenue will be generated from individual and family memberships, corporate sponsorships, event tickets and promotional items to raise Museum operating revenue.
