Mississippi Arts And Entertainment Experience
The exhibits are organized around six themes: Land, Community, Home, Church, People + Places, and Global Community. Within these six themes, there are 15 total permanent galleries of exhibits and two spaces for changing exhibits. Audio and video stories are used to communicate who, what, where, when, why, and how Mississippians have influenced all areas of the arts and the creative economy all over the world. Other elements include a Mississippi Arts + Entertainment Hall of Fame, museum store, recording studio, both a 2D art studio (painting and drawing) and a 3D art studio (ceramics), multi-purpose gallery, outdoor amphitheater, second-floor terrace, and courtyard.
- Walk of Fame
A Hollywood-style Walk of Fame, unveiled in 2009, makes its way from the nearby Mississippi State University Riley Center to the MAX site. New Walk of Fame stars will accompany the earlier state legends, including Elvis Presley, Jimmie Rodgers, B.B. King, William Faulkner, Morgan Freeman, Walter Inglis Anderson, Hartley Peavey, Sela Ward and others.
