“Jazz Age Juxtaposition: Prohibition Era in Louisiana,” an exhibit examining the tumultuous era that prohibited the manufacture, sale and transportation of alcohol runs through Saturday, Aug. 19, at Louisiana’s Old State Capitol, 100 North Blvd. The Prohibition Era in Louisiana was a time of contradiction, with strict laws against alcohol production and consumption coexisting with a thriving jazz scene that was fueled by illegal alcohol. The exhibit brings visitors back to the time of flappers, bootleggers, speakeasies and rum-runners while focusing on how the state handled this “noble experiment.” Admission is free.
