2 Best Sights in Biloxi, Mississippi

The Ohr-O'Keefe Museum of Art

Fodor's choice

The majestic arms of ancient live oaks frame this campus, which features $40 million architecture by Frank Gehry (who designed the Guggenheim Museum in Spain), plus works of master potter George Ohr and emancipated craftsman Pleasant Reed. With a strong focus on ceramic arts, the museum calendar comprises permanent and rotating exhibits, as well as classes and special events. Light snacks and free Wi-Fi are available in the café.

Biloxi Shrimping Trip

If you ever wondered how shrimp get from the salt water of the Gulf of Mexico onto your plate, step on board this working shrimp boat for a revealing 70-minute boat tour. You'll ride along as crew aboard the Sailfish as it trawls for edible treasure from the Mississippi Sound, and during the trip the day's catch will be hoisted aboard for inspection, identification, and education.
