The Walker Museum in the Classroom

Teachers can use The Walker Museum as a learning tool in the classroom. We can arrange exclusive classroom tours by appointment. Speakers are also available to share Walker's history with your students. And we've created a "scavenger hunt" activity that can be used as homework or an extra-credit assignment as part of any lessons on Louisiana history. To read more, click here.

A community meeting place

The Walker Museum & Community Art Gallery has space available for small groups, clubs and organizations, classes or meetings to gather free of charge during the day or evenings when the facility is not in use. To book the museum, call 225-665-4356 during regular business hours Monday through Thursday.

 

On exhibit now

Through the end of April, our Community Art Gallery will feature award-winning Walker artist Patricia Delk's 'Scenes From A Country Life.' The collection features images of horses, mules, pioneers, cowboys and spring blooms in pencil, watercolor and acrylic. Delk's work has won several best-of-show and first-place awards from the Denham Springs Fine Arts Association, the Baton Rouge Fine Arts Academy and other competitions. Delk's exhibit opens Saturday, Feb. 26. The gallery is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays.
