Whether you want to get lost in an art museum or explore a quirky seaside gallery, The Secret Coast is the perfect place to indulge your inner art-enthusiast. One of our favorite ways to spend an art-filled day on the Coast is traveling from town to town and viewing the multitude of public art installations and murals scattered around our region.
From large-scale murals in the middle of downtowns to beach-front sculptures, Coastal Mississippi is brimming with art of all kinds thanks to our mixture of local creatives! We've created a list of some of the best public art spots, so read on for our Official Guide to Coastal Mississippi’s Public Art Installations (that just keeps growing!).
See how many you can enjoy in one day, and don’t forget to tag us and the artists on social media.
