Music Behind the Gates
to
West Baton Rouge Museum 845 North Jefferson Avenue, Port Allen, Louisiana 70767
Providing an intimate look into the world of prison pastime and reform, the West Baton Rouge Museum's Music Behind the Gates exhibition will explore the life of Angola prison inmates and the role music plays in their lives. The art emitted from Angola—in the form of bands, iconic songs, and touching stories—is representative of the art created within the confines of prisons across the country. Presented in collaboration with the Angola Museum and help of Dr. Marianne Fisher-Giorlando and Dr. Benjamin J. Harbert, Associate Professor of Music. westbatonrougemuseum.com.
