Louisiana Museum Foundation To Hold Founders Ball

On Thursday, November 5, The Louisiana Museum Foundation will hold their annual Founders Ball at The Cabildo.

The Sportsman's Paradise: Celebrating Conservation is the main focus of this year's celebration, as it will be on display from November 5, 2026 through summer 2028. The exhibition explores sporting legacy and outdoor heritage in Louisiana from the lens of craftsmanship, duck hunting culture, and the evolution of habitat stewardship in the country's migratory Corridor.
