We had some time to kill so we stopped in. They have a limited number of actual displays, but some very informative films documenting the demographics of the area and the damage caused by some major hurricanes. It is worthwhile.

The coastal mall held this museum until recently (after Katrina took out the old one). Great exhibits about the fishing industry, the waters around this bay area, and the historic heartbeat of the culture in the region between New Orleans and Mobile.

Thank you so much for your review. So glad you came by to visit and learn about our history and heritage! Yes, it took us 9 1/2 years to build back, but we are extremely proud of our Museum and the support of our community. Come back often, new exhibits are always happening.

Stopped in here with friends while in town. Newly opened in August 2014, this place has lots of maritime artifacts, videos, and pictures of how Biloxi and the Mississippi Gulf Coast came to be a premier seafood industry port. Knowledgeable staff and informative displays make time fly. Really enjoyable . Highly recommended.

Visited on a Saturday afternoon and was very pleased with the museum. The center piece for the museum is the Sailing Vessel "NYDIA" formally owned and sailed by Albert Baldwin Wood, who developed the screw pump for the city of New Orleans at the beginning of the 20th century. Being a sailing advocate the NYDIA has been on my list of must see's for a while now. This three storied facility is well laid out, and just plain nice. The staff on hand were very helpful and kind. A must for any local history buff or anyone interested in the fishing industry.

A new large facility right on the water overlooking the bridge. There are three floors of fascinating information about the seafood industry. Learned a lot for a girl from the coast.

This new museum is terrific. The history of Biloxi's seafood history is truly educational especially for visitors. The Katrina display and WLOX footage makes Katrina more understandable but hard to imagine for snowbirds. Worth the visit and very well done.

I was expecting this to be boring, but it was very interesting. There was a boat that was 2 stories tall inside. There was a section about hurricanes, paintings by Mr. Moran, and of course objects from the past. It was much more interesting than I thought it was going to be.

If you like to learn about the local area you will like this museum. It is still getting started so some of the displays are not complete. The displays that they have are good and interesting. We took our kids…and they were not that interested in it, but there is a great park across the parking lot…so everyone wins.

As we were leaving this museum, looked at our watches..thought we'd been in there one hour, and it had been almost three hours! The old, much smaller museum was destroyed several years by a hurricane, and has been rebuilt. It opened in August, I believe, but this was the lst time we'd been able to visit the area. What an outstanding job they have done! Exhibits such as the shrimp peeling machine (and its history), and the video on Hurricane Camille are only 2 of the many items and exhibits you don't want to miss in the museum. There is more to Biloxi than the casinos, and Biloxi should be very proud of this addition to their city.
