Durieux’s Café Tupinamba.

Durieux’s Café Tupinamba.

In honor of the university’s sesquicentennial anniversary, The LSU Museum of Art opens Caroline Durieux: A Radioactive Wit Aug. 22 in celebration of one of its most talented former professors. Durieux’s humorous depictions of American and Mexican society come to life again through more than 90 lithographs, colored cliché verre prints, radioactive electron prints, paintings and sketches spanning from the 1930s through the 1980s, covering the artist’s entire career. The exhibit runs through Nov. 7.

This month is the last chance of the year to feel the immersive experience of Pink Floyd’s epic album Dark Side of the Moon through a laser light show and 5.1 surround sound underneath the planetarium’s multimedia dome at the Louisiana Art and Science Museum. Moon screens Saturdays at 8 p.m. through Aug. 28. Floyd fans take heart—if you can’t make it before then, screenings of a dazzling digital imagery show set to the band’s other iconic album, The Wall, begin Sept. 4.

On Sunday, Aug. 29, at 4 p.m., Baton Rouge Gallery hosts an open house with a performance from Cangelosi Dance Project.
