Ohr-O'Keefe
Museum of Art: George E. Ohr - The self-proclaimed
“Mad Potter of Biloxi” George Edgar Ohr
(1857-1918) created a body of work from
Mississippi clay which defied the aesthetic
conventions of 19th century America. His
extraordinary cultural legacy is now recognized
for its power and integrity and for its important
influence on 20th and 21st century art.
Ohr’s work was rediscovered in the 1960s and
is admired by artists and collectors alike. In
May 2009, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New
York celebrated the opening of the Robert Ellison
Art Pottery Collection on the Mezzanine
Balcony of the New American Wing prominently
featuring selected works by George Ohr and as Ohr
had often predicted, his genius has at long last
been recognized by the world.
Seabee
Memorial Museum: (Map) (5200 CBC 2nd St,
Gulfport, MS 39501, Phone 228-871-3164) In
1942, the Seabees were formed to assist US Naval
operations by designing, building and operating
shore facilities, shipyards, ports, piers and
other seaside stations. Considered an important
part of US defensive operations in World War II,
the Seabees became known for their can-do spirit
in risking their lives to build ports and
airfields around the world. This museum shows the
roles these unique service people played in World
War II, the Korean War, Vietnam and Desert Storm,
and also details their numerous peacetime duties.
Exhibits include uniforms, weapons, flags,
supplies, newspaper clippings, photos and much
more.

Walter
Anderson Museum of Art: Opened in 1991 in historic Ocean
Springs, MS, is an enchanting and unique
experience. WAMA is dedicated to the celebration
of the works of Walter Inglis Anderson
(1903-1965), American master, whose depictions of
the plants, animals, and people of the Gulf Coast
have placed him among the forefront of American
painters of the Twentieth Century; and to his
brothers, Peter Anderson (1901-1984), master
potter and founder of Shearwater Pottery; and
James McConnell Anderson (1907-1998), noted
painter and ceramist.
The watercolors,
drawings, oils, block prints, ceramics, and
carvings by the three Anderson brothers are all
represented in the museum’s permanent
collection. Diverse changing exhibitions, many
featuring the work of other significant artists,
occur throughout the year.
The museum’s
sky lit interior of warm southern yellow pine
includes a main galleria and two additional
galleries, which echo the natural beauty and
simplicity of its setting. Adjacent to the museum
is the Ocean Springs Community Center, home of
Walter Anderson’s largest mural.
