Meridian Museum of Art, Art museum in Historic Downtown Meridian, United States
The Meridian Museum of Art occupies a two-story Italianate building with exhibition spaces displaying regional artworks and collections from Mississippi creators.
The structure, built in 1913 as a Carnegie Library, served white citizens until 1970 when it transformed into an art museum following library integration.
The museum exhibits feature works from Mississippi and Alabama artists through solo shows, group presentations, and an annual Bi-State Exhibition Competition.
Visitors can participate in painting sessions, gallery talks, and seasonal arts workshops every Thursday evening during the weekly Vino and Van Gogh event.
The museum building originally shared the city with a second Carnegie library, creating a dual system that reflected the segregated society of early 20th century Mississippi.
