International Petroleum Museum & Exposition (Visit this link)


The International Petroleum Museum and Exposition's mission is to gather,
save, preserve, and interpret artifacts and information about the offshore
petroleum industry and to educate others concerning the impact and significance
of this Cajun-born industry upon the rest of the world.



The International Petroleum Museum and Exposition is a non-profit corporation
established for the purpose of educating the general public, and the next
generation, on the significance of the offshore oil and gas industry and its
affect on the local area, the state, the nation, and the world.



It is a tribute to the pioneering men and women of an industry that developed a
culture based on initiative, perseverance, creativity, and hard work. It is a
living reminder of the positive contributions, the technological advancements
and the world-wide influence of an industry that began in this sleepy, fishing
village community.



Through the efforts of the rig museum, everyone will have the opportunity to
experience the real oilfield. It will tell the story from the view point of the
participants. The hardships and the heroism, the challenges and the conquests,
the problems and the solutions will be told here. The International Petroleum
Museum and Exposition will be an accurate depiction of the way it was in the
offshore oil business.
