About Ohr-O'Keefe Museum of Art

Frank Gehry designed this five-building campus to weave among the live oaks of a four-acre site on Beach Boulevard. Its centerpiece is the pottery of George E. Ohr, known as the Mad Potter of Biloxi, shown in a cluster of stainless-steel pods. Other galleries hold changing exhibitions and a Gallery of African American Art, and the museum offers ceramics classes. The campus was still under construction when Hurricane Katrina pushed a casino barge onto it in 2005.
