The Exhibition Sportsman’s Paradise highlights the state’s role within the Mississippi Flyway through artifacts, artwork, and stories of hunting, fishing, and habitat stewardship. It is on-view in the 3rd floor Gallery of The Cabildo through September 2028. The Exhibition was done in partnership with Ducks Unlimited, honoring the conservation of the land that allows our rich Sporting heritage and traditions.

The Founders Ball is the Louisiana Museum Foundation’s annual fundraising gala celebrating a flagship exhibition at The Cabildo. In 2026, the event honored Sportsman’s Paradise: Celebrating Conservation, exploring Louisiana’s sporting heritage, craftsmanship, and conservation efforts.

On behalf of the Louisiana Museum Foundation, thank you for making the 2026 Founders Ball: Sportsman’s Paradise an extraordinary success. Your presence, support, and generosity created a night worthy of celebrating Louisiana’s rich traditions, landscape, artistry, and conservation efforts. We are deeply grateful to every guest, donor, partner, and friend who helped bring this event to life.
