Egg Painting Event

On Saturday, March 29, 2014 the St. Tammany Porcelain Art Club came to the Museum and hosted an Egg Painting Event for our members. The Art Club members taught museum members how to paint a porcelain egg in a marble style. The Art Club furnished all of the supplies for the event. There was no cost to the museum members, and the eggs are for them to keep. The art club took the eggs to fire and will be returning them to the museum for members to pick up at their convenience. Please visit us on Facebook for more photos and information.

Swamp Room Addition

We have some beautiful new additions to our Swamp Room Exhibit. Two mounted deer head that were hunted and killed in the Honey Island Swamp. They were donated to the museum by Tommy Cooper, and are now proudly displayed in the Swamp Room, where they fit in perfectly.

We would like to give a big thanks to Tommy Cooper, and his wife Bonnie for their generous donation.
