Museum is quite small, but very nice and inexpensive. Group it with a visit to the Audubon next door, and the Traveler's coffee house which is adjacent, for a full afternoon. The museum had plenty of parking and there is nearby walkable shops and restaurants....Read More

We went for a day trip and walked through the cute little quaint town of Ocean Springs. We made our way to the museum and it was absolutely lovely. The artwork and all of the stories combined. It was a wonderful experience.

A peaceful and educational way to spend an afternoon. Plentiful information on the artistic foundation of Ocean Springs concerning Shearwater and The Anderson's legacy. I like to think it's like taking a walk through a beautifully mad artist's mind.

We had an amazingly peaceful time at WAM. Right next to the gift shop, you can enjoy a full length film from Mississippi Public Broadcasting, which sets the whimsical tone of the museum. For a man that traveled all over from New Orleans to China,...Read More

A must when in Ocean Springs. Walter Anderson was not just a brilliant artist and native son, he also gave so much to the community he lived in and loved. Lots to see on the museum side including original paintings, drawings, lots of ceramics, and...Read More

Loved the location of the museum and the place itself. The inside is clean and well-maintained. Front desk workers were so sweet and helpful. I’d recommend watching the video first before exploring the museum. It was pretty small; I wish there was more to see!...Read More

Beautiful! The art of Walter Anderson is so fun and serene. The Little Room was such an immersive experience. The mural in the community center was definitely something to see.

I have so many big feelings that words won't do justice. I was born and raised in central Mississippi, in an impoverished area to an impoverished family. Art and literature are what gave me purpose and the strength to leave. Visiting the Walter Anderson museum...Read More

Great museum about eclectic local artist Walter Anderson. I took the new audio your that provided an extra insight into his life. Unfortunately there was an event in the community center and I wasn't able to see the mural. Little room was very cool though.

Very interesting museum. It was great learning about Walter Anderson and getting to see how his art evolved throughout his life.The Dusti Bonge exhibit was a great addition, both from an artistic and story-telling standpoint.
