"Remembering the 1984 Louisiana World Exposition" at the Old State Capitol

Forty years ago this year, the 1984 Louisiana World Exposition took New Orleans and the world by storm, celebrating the centennial of the World Cotton Centennial Fair in 1884 and the convergence of global cultures along with Louisiana's agricultural and industrial bounty. A year-long exhibit at the Old State Capitol commemorates the legacy of the 1984 Louisiana World Expo, featuring photographs, artifacts, and video of the remarkable event. louisianaoldstatecapitol.org.
