Mississippi Civil Rights Museum

The Mississippi Civil Rights Museum shares the stories of a Mississippi movement that changed the nation. The museum promotes a greater understanding of the Mississippi Civil Rights Movement and its impact by highlighting the strength and sacrifices of its peoples. Visitors will witness the freedom struggle in eight interactive galleries that show the systematic oppression of black Mississippians and their fight for equality that transformed the state and nation. Seven of the galleries encircle a central space called This Little Light of Mine. There, a dramatic sculpture glows brighter and the music of the Movement swells as visitors gather.

The museum is amazing. You can step into the jail cell or watch videos of what led to the civil rights movement. The museum is filled with people and events that are displayed from the floor to the ceiling. We didn't have enough time to see the upstairs, so be sure to allow enough time to see everything. It is very moving to see how men and women believed in a better world for their families and what the sad reality of it was like for them to do so.

Stan Streets Hambone Art Gallery

Reviewed By KarenK3

Recommendation from The Travelers Hotel and it was a great experience. A funky boho art gallery with live music. We were warmly greeted and it’s a very interesting place to sit and relax with the added pleasure of hearing a very very good blues guitarist-Lucious Stiller - and his band. We were only in Clarksdale for one night and it was amazing to have found Hambone and see this band.

The Waveland Ground Zero Hurricane Museum

Reviewed By hopalongrving - Mississippi, United States

This was our second visit to the area and we are glad we came back to see the museum again. To say its a powerful exhibit would be an understatement. It’s free to visit (though donations are always welcome) and the volunteers are very helpful. Pam gave us a short tour of the museum and then let us explore at our leisure. They are adding new exhibits as time and funding allow. The latest addition is an oral history video using cell phone photos/videos and interviews with locals who were in the area for Katrina’s impact. I wouldn’t say this would be an ideal place to bring little kids but there is a park that shares the same parking lot so it could be a win win for families traveling with little ones.
