The Glory of Baroque Dresden Jackson, Mississippi

 

I attended the exhibition on 4/8/04.  It was unique and interesting.  Our tickets were purchased at the museum ticket office with no extra charges and fees to ticketmaster.  When I telephoned the museum in the a.m. they told me tickets were available during the week after 2 pm.  The school groups have finished by then.  They have a nice restaurant at the museum too.  Parking is available on the street at metered spaces (25 cents per half hour - limit 2 hours), or park in the lot directly across from the museum for $5.

 

If you are heading south on 49 after your visit to the museum, consider dinner (open 5 p.m.) at Jerry's Catfish.  About 7 - 10 miles south of downtown.  On left side in a large white dome building.  Best catfish in this part of the world - or maybe in the world.  $8.95 all you can eat, or $7.95 for a dinner.
