Collection

The Mississippi Museum of Art began as the Mississippi Art Association, established in 1911, with a small collection of paintings. Since becoming the Mississippi Museum of Art in 1978, the collection has grown to more than 5,800 objects, with particular strength in American art from the 19th and 20th centuries by some of the country’s most prominent artists, including Robert Henri, Georgia O’Keeffe, Andy Warhol, and Radcliffe Bailey. Many bequests and gifts have added to the collection. Sara Virginia Jones left more than 300 prints of 16th-20th century origin, and Oxford collectors, Paul and Celia Mabry, gifted works by American Modernists such as Arthur B. Davies, John Marin, George Bellows, and Romare Bearden.
