Loved the Mark Messersmith and Alexa Kleinbard shows! Also the very special photography show about the fragile Louisiana coast (very well presented!). Glad to see the new Thornton Dial piece. My first visit won't be my last!

As the name says this museum focuses on work by artists who identify themselves as Southern artists whether born in the South or not. Besides a large permanent collection there are special exhibits. The collection is mostly paintings but includes sculpture, pottery and glass... More
