Mississippi Museum of Art

We travel all over the country and try to see as many art museums as possible. A few have stood out for the objects and the curating and the MMA has been added to our list of favorites. From the outside art garden (which we did not spend much time in because it was raining) to the wonderfully light filled atrium at the entrance to the displays this was a visit we thoroughly enjoyed. We were there for the exhibit called picturing Mississippi which only runs until July 8, 2018 so if you can get to it, do. They have events all the time and a very good gift shop with lots of art and nice gifts.

Great place for all ages. Rotating exhibits require a ticket, but the front areas of the museum are free of charge. Once a month, "Music in the City" is free on a Tuesday night which features great classical or folk music. It is co-sponsored by St. Andrew's Cathedral. There are art camps for kids and "after hour" events once a month on Thursdays ... still free.

Great exibit going on celebrating the 200th anniversary of Mississippi. All of the art on display now has some relationship to the state. Was free for us, dont know if that is because the anniversary or not.
