We went on "Free Tuesday" so we got to explore the museum for free and then had lunch at the cafe. It was one of our favorite places to eat the entire trip and loved it so much we went back for lunch before we left on Friday! More

The museum is divided they say into three components - the gardens outside, the Mississippi history display and the traveling exhibit. A wonderful display of the history of the CURIOUS GEORGE story. More

Quite a small museum, but nice. All about Mississippi and its artists. In a great area with the planatarium and theatre in the same complex. Museum is free, has a gift shop and cafe. I would recommend it. More

I know so many people who have never even been here though they live here. It's an excellent museum. That's quite a review from me since I am a museum-a-holic! Truly a gem! More

A new, modern, and not large - thank you - museum where the visitor can find some very important pictures painted/created by Southern artists... As well, there are some wonderful hands-on kinds of activities regarding being creative for the children: Like choosing your fabric and creating your own gown/garment with pins and clips. It was really fun, to especiall watch... More

The MIssissippi Museum of art has a very good permanent collection that contains: Pre-Columbian art, Mississippi folk art, Mississippi Quilts, Jacob Lawrence, Andy Warhol, Robert Henri, Mary Cassatt, and a special focus Mississippi artists. The building is only a few years old and is located in downtown Jackson. The museum is definitely worth a few hours for any art enthusiast... More
