The Mississippi Museum of Art gives a traveler to Jackson, or a resident for that matter, an entirely different perspective on Jackson. The special exhibits are always interesting. But be sure to allow yourself some time to work your way through the Mississippi exhibit. It is permanent and ties together writers from areas of the state with art that represents that area. The viewing areas are spacious and the viewer has the ability to make connections on many levels. There are stations sprinkled throughout the museum that encourage participation in art and there are benches and seats that allow time for reflection. The gardens are not to be missed. There is a café and there are frequent music programs. On certain days, there are food trucks. If you are traveling to Jackson, be sure to allow a few hours to enjoy this gem.
