Louisiana treasures and their owners will be featured on three episodes of “Antiques Roadshow” beginning Feb. 19 as well as a special related behind-the-scenes episode produced by Louisiana Public Broadcasting.
The three segments of “Antiques Roadshow,” PBS’s most popular program, and the behind-the-scenes LBP show were filmed in May 2023 at the LSU Rural Life Museum.
It was the first time since 2013 that “Antiques Roadshow” returned to Baton Rouge.
More than 10,000 people applied for tickets to the free appraisal event. After a ticket lottery, thousands of people from across Louisiana brought their treasures for consideration before the Roadshow experts during a dawn-to-dusk taping on May 2, 2023.
“For Louisiana to be a part of this experience is amazing,” said Clarence “C.C.” Copeland, Louisiana Public Broadcasting president and chief executive. “The national exposure our state will receive on such a popular show is priceless. LPB is happy that we were able to contribute that day and we are so pleased to now share the results with all of Louisiana.”
