The Mississippi Museum of Art is more than an art museum in Jackson, Mississippi. It is a museum of Mississippi—a museum that connects Mississippians to our culture, our history, our communities, and to each other. It is a museum informed by the legacy of our past and emboldened by a vision of a future without division.
It is a community gathering space, a setting for quiet reflection, and a place where strangers become friends. It is a place of learning and growth, of genuine human connection, and of artistic inspiration.
Art sheds new light on narratives and issues. The Mississippi Museum of Art shares that light. By inspiring curiosity and conversation, art brings challenging topics to the table in a meaningful way. We invite our community to that table with inclusive programming and engaging experiences that spark dynamic dialogues, deepen empathy and offer visibility to people and topics that have been ignored for too long.
The Mississippi Museum of Art is committed to curating a shared space for every Mississippian—a brave space where we can all find wonder, peace and a voice.
