Since that time, Historic City Hall Arts & Cultural Center has showcased numerous traveling exhibitions from around the world, as well as regional and local artists. The Historic City Hall Arts & Cultural Center is City-owned-and-operated, under the direction of the Cultural Affairs Department. The beautiful historic building features three floors of gallery space, a clock tower, and, added in 2006, a landscaped brick courtyard. There have been many exhibitions by artists such as Pablo Picasso, Ansel Adams, Norman Rockwell, and Tasha Tudor, as well as many traveling group exhibitions. In 2007, Historic City Hall housed Titanic:The Artifact Exhibition, featuring over 100 carefully preserved artifacts from the historic vessel. The Historic City Hall has had visitors from across the country, many of which are surprised and delighted to find such high-caliber exhibitions in the Lake Area.  \n \nFor the past several years, Historic City Hall Arts and Cultural Center has been voted the  Best Public Art Gallery by the Times of Lake Charles Reader's Poll. This honor recognizes the ongoing commitment the City of Lake Charles has made to providing the residents and visitors of Lake Charles with quality, educational, family-friendly entertainment and events at accessible prices.  \n \nAdmission to all exhibitions is free to the public.
