Ohr-O'Keefe Museum Of Art, Modern art museum in Biloxi, United States.
The Frank Gehry-designed buildings feature metallic curves and geometric forms that interact with ancient oak trees on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
The museum honors George Ohr, a Mississippi potter from 1857 to 1918, who created experimental ceramic works with unconventional shapes and textures.
Exhibitions highlight regional artists, African American art, and contemporary ceramics while maintaining connections to Gulf Coast artistic traditions.
The facility includes a ceramics studio offering pottery classes, multiple exhibition spaces, and a welcome center for visitors to explore.
Hurricane Katrina pushed a casino barge onto the construction site in 2005, requiring extensive rebuilding of the partially completed museum structures.
