Mississippi Civil Rights Museum examines the struggle for civil rights through the experiences of people and communities across the state.

Galleries place personal testimony and historic events within a wider account of resistance, organizing, and change. The museum forms part of Jackson's Two Mississippi Museums complex, and the photograph shows the shared building.
Allow enough time for a thoughtful visit; the subject includes violence and difficult personal histories. Check the current admission arrangements, opening calendar, and group visit guidance before arriving. The neighboring Museum of Mississippi History is a separate museum within the same complex, so choose your visit and ticket arrangements accordingly.
