Frank Gehry fans-- if you have the time--Biloxi isn't that far of drive down the road from NO he has a new museum complex being built--One of the buildings is for the Mad Potter.
I visited last week, it's in the process of being built. I found it interesting for a couple of reasons--use of brick veneer, right on the coast, and the lookout from the tippy top.
Also,
Across the bridge from Biloxi is Ocean Springs which is a cool old town, go and check out Shearwater Pottery and the WAMA museum. More people should know about Walter Inglis Anderson.
i was in gulfport for a funeral over the new year and walked every inch of this magnificent complex... looking forward to seeing the completed work, but what is built now is a very compelling building... this was under construction back when katrina hit the gulf and is being built per it's pre-katrina design, so it looks and feels like early 90's Gehry, but that is not so much of a bad thing..
