DELTA BLUES MUSEUM
The Delta Blues Museum, located in Clarksdale, MS, houses rotating exhibits highlighting the Blues genre through music, photography, art, etc. The museum's permanent collection includes the remains of the cabin Muddy Waters lived in when he was a sharecropper as well as his guitar made out of a plank from the cabin.


The Delta Blues Museum is housed in the renovated Clarksdale freight depot built in 1918.

Since its creation, the Delta Blues Museum has preserved, interpreted, and encouraged a deep interest in the story of the blues. Established in 1979 by the Carnegie Public Library Board of Trustees and re-organized as a stand-alone museum in 1999, the Delta Blues Museum is the state’s oldest music museum.
