Mississippi Museum of Art, Art museum in Jackson, Mississippi.

The Mississippi Museum of Art, the largest museum in Mississippi, stands at the corner of South Lamar Street and East Pascagoula Street in Jackson. Its galleries hold paintings by American, Mississippi and British artists alongside photographs, collage works and sculptures.

Founded in 1978 and originally housed in the Arts Center of Mississippi, the museum relocated to its current location in 2007, tracing its roots back to the Mississippi Art Association established in 1911.

The museum showcases works by renowned American artists including Georgia O'Keeffe, Mary Cassatt, and Albert Bierstadt, while highlighting regional Mississippi artists like Walter Inglis Anderson and George E. Ohr.

The museum stands at the corner of South Lamar and East Pascagoula streets in downtown Jackson, so plan to arrive by car or rideshare. Galleries are spread across a single building, with the permanent collection and temporary shows on the same visit. Check the museum's own listings before travelling, since opening days and hours are not confirmed by the sources.

In November 2025 the museum acquired the Fountainhead residence in Jackson, a midcentury house designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in his Usonian style. The purchase added a Wright-designed home to the museum's holdings, separate from its South Lamar Street galleries.
