Angola Museum

Angola Museum

Opening in 1997, the Angola Museum at the Louisiana State Penitentiary was established to preserve the long and storied history of crime, punishment, rehabilitation, criminal justice, and reform in Louisiana. Serving as an institution for learning and discussion on the impacts of corrections, criminal justice, and reform, Angola Museum stands alone with the monumental and humbling task of documenting the living history inside the country’s largest maximum-security prison.

Their mission is to captivate visitors with a cultural experience that includes dialogue about the complex and compelling stories of corrections and justice in Louisiana.
