The five-panel facade on the building, sculpted by Baton Rouge artist Al Lavergne, offers a panoramic "study in stone" of Louisiana's unique history both as a colony and as a state.[2]
The archives also feature an exhibit gallery with changing displays of art from its collections, and a permanent exhibit of posters from World War I.
