I had an afternoon to kill while in town on business and thought I would stop in. While I like the BB King and Delta Blues, I had modest expectations of a local museum in a small Mississippi Delta town. I was blown away! What I thought would be a quick stroll through a small facility became three hours fully... More

WOW. That pretty much sums up this amazing museum and the amazing artist, man, performer that is BB King. Never would have expected a first class museum out in the middle of Mississippi and I mean that with no disrespect. We've visited museums in big and small towns all over this country. Whoever designed this one got it right. Take... More

What a wonderful piece of American musical and political history, in a beautiful setting. Small town America and a true success story under one roof. We got so much more from this than we thought we would. BB Kings journey through the age of segregation into the internationally emraced icon of today is worth the drive, time and money to... More

Having been to Indianola some 13 or 14 years ago and where one could find scarcely a reference to this important musician, we were delighted with this venue. The films, displays, artifacts, etc. are skillfully arranged in a professional manner. We could take our time through this self-guided interpretive centre. This is a true legacy for blues fans from around... More

This is a beautiful facility with a great gift shop, just as BB King deserves. The 10-12 minute intro film gives a wonderful look at where he came from and who he is, and is backed by a great sound system. You also feel surrounded by the ghosts of those who didn't make it up and out.

This was a great place to visit. The story of his life is something to experience. The museum is easy to go through at your own pace. Take the time to watch all of the videos throughout as they really help tell the story. This was one of the highlights of our recent trip to the Delta.

If you love the blues and BB King, you'll love this museum. It is a first rate modern museum experience.

I cannot say enough about how good this museum is. It left me with a new appreciation the great B.B. King. I knew of him of course, but had no idea of how long and hard he worked to get where he is and how much he gives back to the community and so selflessly. There's a continuing documentary throughout... More

My husband and I spent an entire afternoon at the BB King Museum and Delta Interpretive Center. What a deeply meaningful experience it was to spend several hours there. We were moved to tears at times; for example, reading about BB’s early years of struggle and trying to imagine him living alone between the ages of 10 and 14. We... More
