Went with a couple posters. We all thought it was a complete letdown. Just a big room with what looks like high school social studies fair projects.
Supposedly they were in the process of adding a restaurant and another exhibit. We went in October.

Thank you. Don't think I'll waste my time there

That's too bad. Maybe it will improve. I suspect funding is a problem.

Agree that the exhibits could use some work. Great concept but the display /interpretive signage, etc are sub optimal.

I'm really disappointed to hear this. I had high hopes for it. I hope this is just growing pains. To me, this could potentially be as big as the National WWII Museum.
I have told them they need to publish a "wish list" of cookbooks. Since I collect (mainly) Louisiana cookbooks and have thousands, I pledged to donate any of them I had if they needed them.

I was disappointed when the culinary library was announced: it is non circulating. While I appreciate old or rare books being reference only, I don't get the point of having library books that don't circulate. It's the Information Age: why cling to a 15-century idea of an archive? So collect the LA rarities and re-publish in digital editions, or do SOMEthing to make the info more accessible to the world, not simply collect stuff and require people to walk through the doors in order to use it.

I have PP's Louisiana Kitchen, Plantation Cookbook and American Pie done so far. I even bought one of these to chop the books (up to 400 pages) for easy scanning:
