Museum of Art

Museum of Art

Yates Construction provided construction services for the Mississippi Museum of Art. A beautiful new home for the museum and its permanent collection of art, the new facility has rapidly advanced in terms of capabilities, technology, and the overall philosophy of what an art museum means to the community. The lobby and entryway are filled with light through the inclusion of a large amount of glass, accomplished by raising the roof. This technique breaks down barriers and creates a transparent front door that makes everyone feel welcome. A vibrant café with wireless internet encourages visitors to sit and relax, and a newly-added front porch on the facility, located at the helm of the downtown cultural district, creates a welcoming and comfortable space.
