Mississippi Museum of Art

"A pretty great museum. The temp exhibits can be fun! It's especially fun if you have kids, they always have events going on for families."

"Went on first Saturday which was advertised as free...nope. so I spent the 13 bux . Had some nice displays but the lighting was so low, I couldn't see the paintings. The patrons were friendly and happy. I was spoiled since I went to Picasso display in Atlanta which was a complete display. Was nice to see young folks doing their own painting."

"A lovely mix of international and local artists. My favorite local was Gwendolyn A. Magee, whose quilting rises to the level of museum masterpieces. I paid $18, and I think part of that was for access to the traveling Picasso landscapes exhibit. Wow! There was even a hands-on component to the cubist exhibit: sketch pads and pencils with tips for how to draw in the vein of Picasso. To see so many of his works close-up was a real treat. Guide/docent Kenya was engaging and generous with her time. Thank you for sharing your personal touch!"

"I toured this museum during the Mississippi portion of a road trip, and I was really impressed! They have an excellent permanent collection of amazing works which are free to the public, and the invitational exhibit which is $15, but definitely worth it! I am always happy to give my money to parks and museums! The staff here are also very friendly and the museum is very beautiful. There is also a gorgeous Art Garden outside of the museum where you can sit and enjoy beautiful flowers and trees and sculptures."
