About Alexandria Museum of Art

The Alexandria Museum of Art opened in 1977 in downtown Alexandria, in the former Rapides Bank and Trust Company Building, a Renaissance Revival bank completed in 1898. The museum added a foyer and offices as an annex in 1998. Since 2007 it has also served as a downtown campus for Louisiana State University of Alexandria, and it hosts lectures, yoga classes, and other public programs. Visitors can see rotating exhibitions drawn from its permanent collection and traveling shows, along with family and adult art classes and a teen art club.
