In Louisiana, the Port Wonder Children’s Museum & Nature Center by CambridgeSeven will introduce students to wild life restoration →
By Daniel Roche
CambridgeSeven—the historic Massachusetts office cofounded in 1962 by Ivan Chermayeff, Peter Chermayeff, and five other modernist luminaries—released images this month showing their newest project in the City of Lake Charles, Louisiana.
The Port Wonder Children’s Museum & Nature Center is a 32,000-square-foot hub by CambridgeSeven overlooking Louisiana’s scenic Lake Charles. At the new $20 million building, 23,600 square feet will be dedicated to a new children’s museum and 8,400 square feet will be used for a new sustainability-focused science center. The building will have access to a fishing pier that connects visitors with the water.
The architects designed the roofline to mimic the waterways leading to Lake Charles. The design’s distinct two curved “crests” house the children’s museum and science center, respectively, and share a lobby courtyard. “We wanted something that was iconic and eye-catching,” said Lake Charles Mayor Nic Hunter.

Audubon Aquarium and Audubon Insectarium Opening Date Announced
NEW ORLEANS (press release) – Audubon Nature Institute announces June 8 is the opening date for the new, reimagined and redesigned Audubon Aquarium and Audubon Insectarium on the New Orleans Riverfront. The grand opening coincides with World Ocean Day.
The Aquarium temporarily closed in November to undergo months of extensive renovation, while Audubon Insectarium relocated from its former home at the U.S. Custom House to the Aquarium building.

Guests will be immersed in experiences featuring the beauty and stunning diversity of wildlife and habitats from around the world, from local Louisiana bayous to the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean through South and Central America and the Amazon River basin.
“Through our reimagining, visitors will experience many of their favorite Aquarium exhibits in an entirely new way. Not only are there new animals in our care, but educational opportunities to showcase the important connections between humans, animals, and the environment,” said Rich Toth, Senior Vice-President and Director of Audubon’s downtown facilities. “It is especially exciting to open the doors for our newly renovated Aquarium on World Ocean Day, the day set aside to celebrate the world’s oceans and what we can do to protect them.”
