Hollywood on the Bayou PRESENTS
Exhibits

 

We can create a wide variety of exhibits on Louisiana film history such as by genre, by parish or entire state. We have a very large selection of original movie posters to enhance any exhibit and compliment any variable history line. Size can vary from a small gathering in a reception room to an entire museum. Contact us for your individual needs.

Here are some of our exhibits:

We unveiled a new flexable travelling exhibit at the Lake Charles Film Festival (Oct. 4-5). The new exhibit consists of 14 3'x4' storyboards covering Louisiana Film History. A varying amount of original material can be placed between each storyboard depending upon the space available for the exhibit.
