Description

Junior Cultural Ambassador's -Art - Scavenger Hunt for Gold & Historical Clues Children's programming on the Mardi Gras Shipwreck Exhibition Junior Cultural Ambassador’s Program is a venture of the Friends of the Capitol Park Museum and BREC. The program takes place once a month on a Saturday from 10:30am – 12pm. We announce the age ranges for the activity when informing the members about that month’s program. We have three tracks, yet all of the programs and projects overlap. Art – this track covers innovation, visual and performing arts, and science, in addition to craft-based learning initiatives. History – this track is about learning an aspect of Louisiana history and how it builds our culture Epicurean – this track looks at agriculture, food, nutrition, and understanding our unique culture through consumption and the history of the ingredients, customs, and dishes. A Junior Cultural Ambassador membership is included for each qualifying child if a family purchases a “household membership level” or above. To solely purchase a JCA membership as a gift is $25 annually per child. To purchase a ticket for a one time attendance is $10.   The Capitol Park Museum features thematic exhibits on the diverse aspects of Louisiana history, industry and culture. The museum includes two permanent exhibitions, entitled Grounds for Greatness: Louisiana and the Nation, and Experiencing Louisiana: Discovering the Soul of America.   Topics range from the Louisiana Purchase to Sportsmen's Paradise to Mardi Gras traditions throughout the state. Artifacts include a 48 foot wooden shrimp trawler, a Civil War submarine, a record breaking Marlin, a Krewe of lawnmowers, a New Orleans Lucky Dog cart and musical artifacts from Fats Domino, Buddy Guy, Clarence Gatemouth Brown, Aaron Neville and much more!
