New from the Foundation for Historical Louisiana, and just ahead of the city's bicentennial of the 1817 incorporation, Baton Rouge: The Past 200 Years superimposes photographs of the city's past upon present-day captures. The resulting image is often a new story that altogether laments difficult losses and celebrates cherished historical memories. The exhibit opens on November 3 and remains on display until February 10. fhl.org.
