The Ohr-O’Keefe Museum of Art celebrates the innovative, independent, and creative spirit of Mississippi master potter George Ohr. Frank Gehry designed the museum in a unique “pod” shape that peaks through the oak trees that surround it. The museum also offers pottery classes for those who are ready to make some pottery of their own.
