Hillyer House is a nationally recognized award-winning gallery featured in Southern Living and Southern Breeze magazines. Established in 1970 by the Hillyer-Reed family, Paige Riley collects brilliant works of art from over 300 local and national artists.
This is a great store. Artists display their work from all over US. I visit each time I vacation in the area. Love seeing all the different handmade items. From dishes, serving pieces, jewelry, gift items, and food items, etc. Ladies are always friendly and helpful.

While on vacation in biloxi we saw a sign promoting the GI museum so we decided to visit. Mitchell was the volunteer and he provided additional details behind several of the artifacts on display. For a smaller museum, it was packed with interesting war-time relics and articles that were nicely arranged and easy to read. Could spend hours examining in depth but we just did a quick looksee. Will return in the future when we have more time.

The Walter Anderson Museum of Art (WAMA), founded in 1991, is located in historic Ocean Springs on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. WAMA is dedicated to the preservation and celebration of artist-philosopher Walter Anderson (1903-1965) and his family. Walter Anderson’s paintings, drawings, murals, block prints, sculpture, carvings, and writings of coastal plants, animals, landscapes, and people have placed him among the most compelling and singular artists of the 20th century.
Awesome museum, awesome art, tragic life history, two rooms are covered in art from floor to ceiling.

Was fortunate enough to get a personal tour of the house from Jeff Rosenberg. Jeff really knows his stuff about this house and was able to answer all the questions we had. The house has been lovingly restored back to the 1890 drawings of Louis Sullivan and Frank Lloyd Wright. Well worth a visit.

We were greeted as we entered the museum and were welcomed to tour the place on our own. I found the history and artifacts quite interesting including a piece pipe that was over 300 years old. It also showed the different Ishee homes built in the area. They all relish fitting into nature so it’s almost like living outside... very cool houses! Several local artists had items on display from pottery to paintings and collections. Also, there is a theater which is used frequently for productions which is delightfully “old school.”
