SHAW CENTER FOR THE ARTS

Clearly the most prominent arts complex in Louisiana's capital, the huge building brings together several entities under its roof, starting with the Manship Theater. The Manship Theater hosts a variety of performing arts events (music, theater, dance, film, etc.). Then there is the LSU Museum of Art and the Glassell Gallery (the latter is free), both of which belong to the state university. Between an exhibition and a show, three restaurants and a café have their headquarters here.
