About

The purpose of the Mississippi Museums Association is to promote professional communication between all types of museums, public and private, within the State of Mississippi and to promote a statewide public awareness of the value of museums as educational and research institutions at the local, county, regional and state levels.

Founded in 1976 by a group of museum professionals, MMA is governed by a Board of Directors made up of volunteers representing museums across the state.  Members of the Board of Directors are nominated by good-standing MMA members and elected at the Annual Meeting.
