About

The mission of the B. B. King Museum and Delta Interpretive Center, a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization, is to empower, unite and heal through music, art and education and share with the world the rich cultural heritage of the Mississippi Delta.

Story

From the cotton fields, street corners and juke joints of the Mississippi Delta came a new kind of music – the blues. Considered by many to be the only truly indigenous American music, this form that has influenced musicians worldwide is deeply rooted in Delta soil. And so is the man who helped spread the blues as its foremost ambassador... Riley B.B. King.

The B.B. King Museum may be the most inspiring stop you’ll ever make. There’s nothing else like it in Mississippi. The Museum opened in 2008 to rave reviews and delivers an unparalleled experience. The exhibits include thousands of rare artifacts, award-winning films, computer interactives, and a story that will give your emotions a workout.

Our services for tour operators include group rates, reservation assistance, suggested itineraries, photographs, step on guides, FAM tours, and welcome bags.

It is a really good museum!! I highly recommend it even if you don't know much about BB King. It is highly educational and entertaining. It was remarkably done. We spent about 2 hrs and we read everything and did everything! Really good

A truly great and Hidden Gem. A great place to learn about BB King and also the conditions that he lived in while here in Mississippi. Would recommend to anyone even if they are not a fan of BB King.

Good museum for a legend. Very nicely built. Includes a former cotton mill where BB King worked as a kid. There are plans to expand the museum in the near future. Price is slightly high in my opinion. You will need about 1.5 hours. If you can come on certain Thursdays, there is live music. Call ahead and ask about it.
