Gather in the Westin Ballroom for a presentation by the Architects who designed the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum before driving over to visit the Museum at your leisure. 
​The design and construction of the Mississippi Museums took almost twenty years and involved four architecture firms. The exterior of the building was designed in two very different styles to represent the differing missions of each museum, but the client wanted a cohesive interior. Russ Blount, AIA, of Dale Partners and Chris Myers, AIA, of CDFL Architects & Engineers will walk you through material and design decisions that led to the building you see today.

Almost 2,000 artifacts populate the Museum of Mississippi History and the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum, but the basement of the Mississippi Museums houses thousands more. This tour will take you for a ride on the 12-ton freight elevator into the rarely seen depths of the museum's collection, where the wide variety of storage furniture and equipment houses everything from 200 year-old quilts to toys from the 1980s. Katie Jo Chane, IIDA, of CDFL Architects & Engineers will lead the tour, along with Nan Prince, the Director of Collections at the museums. Limited Availability. Transportation on your own. Included in Registration
