B.B. King Museum

Come and learn more about the history of the famous blues music artist B.B. King.

This museum is unlike any other in Mississippi. It has been open since 2008 and has displays of rare artifacts and other interactive exhibits to help guests really get to know who B.B. King was. You will start out in the theater that goes over the background behind the king of blues and is a great introduction to B.B. King. The museum will then take you through a timeline starting from the 1930s era in King’s early years up to the 1960s where his music and the Civil Rights Movement in America helped shape the music of this time period. Riley B. King, known as the legendary artist B.B. King released over 50 albums during his time as a singer-guitarist and has influenced many musical artists.
