Delta Blues Museum

The Delta Blues Museum will start a year-long planning process to complete the final design for the recent addition of 7,300 square feet to the museum's gallery. Once completed, Delta Blues will open its redesigned permanent exhibits, allowing visitors to explore highly relevant issues of race, class, and place through the blues and its influence on music and people around the globe. The exhibit and related community programming will provide an innovative approach to storytelling and offer visitors different ways to relate to history. Outcomes of the project will suggest new possibilities for how museums can address the issues of representation, memory, and stereotypes.
