About
the Delta Blues Museum
Established in 1979 by the Carnegie Public Library
Board of Trustees and re-organized as a stand-alone museum
in 1999, the Delta Blues Museum is Mississippi's oldest
music museum. A 2013 recipient of the IMLS National
Medal for Museum and Library Services - the nation's highest
honor for museum and library service to the community -
and a 2014 recipient of the National Arts & Humanities'
Youth Program Award, the Delta Blues Museum is dedicated
to creating a welcoming place where visitors find meaning,
value and perspective by exploring the history and heritage
of the unique American musical art form, the Blues. The
Museum is also recognized as a Great River Road Interpretive
Center.
For more information on events or programs, please call (662) 627-6820, or visit the Museum web site at www.deltabluesmuseum.org.
Members of the press may register
in the PRESS
ROOM on the Museum's website to access further
information, downloadable images and related materials.
