Ohr-O'Keefe Museum of Art

The Ohr-O’Keefe Museum of Art (OOMA) in Biloxi, Mississippi, celebrates the innovative spirit of George E. Ohr, the “Mad Potter of Biloxi,” and the cultural richness of the Gulf Coast. Designed by architect Frank Gehry, the museum’s striking campus of pods and pavilions offers a unique setting for exhibitions of contemporary and historical art. OOMA’s permanent collection highlights Ohr’s groundbreaking ceramics, while rotating exhibitions showcase diverse regional, national, and international artists. Through exhibitions, programs, and educational initiatives, the museum fosters creativity, dialogue, and a deeper appreciation for the arts and culture of the South.
