I bartended the white party tonight it was amazing ty to Ms terisa and her team from Sgueaulers and her catering busines catering with southern charm.if you ever in meridian stop by the max its a amazing place and for some good home made BBQ must have Sgueaulers.ama?ING food top noch servers and cook and hone made drinks.its your place.
This place is great for not only Meridian but for Mississippi also. Spread the word far and wide.
Very entertaining, interactive and educational. Loved it and loved learning the musical and art history of the state I was born and raised in. Definitely recommend it for the people who love music and art
Such a fun experience, all in a beautifully modern facility. The state of Mississippi has an incredible history of developing famous entertainers. As they state in the museum, maybe it’s because we often times have nothing more to do other than sit on the front porch, play our guitar and dream of something more. We visited during the traveling Jim Henson exhibit. However, the standing Mississippi exhibit is worth the visit alone. Exhibits were all very interactive, containing some very cool, seemingly cutting edge technology (e.g. the kitchen table area highlighting local chefs and flavors). These aspects make this a great visit for kids as well. Staff was very friendly and more than willing to engage regarding local history. This is a visit every Mississippian should make, and well worth the time for any out of state visitor wanting to learn more about an often misunderstood part of our country.
I always enjoy coming here. It reminds me of how Mississippi offers so many cultural leaders in our country. It reminds me of how much i enjoy living in mississippi.
I just saw the Tennessee Williams paintings—obviously knew of his plays, but had no idea he was also a painter. Fantastic and informational exhibit! So glad to have quality shows available locally. Given the first Saturday discount tickets, its even more feasible to give kids world-class exposure to the arts.
Amazing Place To Visit On Any Given Day! I Love How Nearly The Entire Museum Is Hands On! Diffidently Worth Experiencing!
Great place to learn about all the talented people that have come out of Mississippi. A must see, the facility is top notch.
Luv, luv, luv Maxis Juke Joint night!
We attend the mini maestros program weekly. My toddler loves it. It was a little more interactive with the previous instructor. But it’s a free program so I can’t really complain. They do an art activity each week as well as music and dancing.
Very interesting museum...I think anyone that appreciated Mississippi south love it.
One of the best museums I have ever been too and I live in DC where we have a few museums. The best use of technology to tell stories I have seen. This is what an interactive museum is supposed to be. Good for all ages and does an amazing job of exploring the contributions of Mississippians to the arts. I wish they had some posters of some of the exhibits like the music influences wall.
Ive been to The Maxx several times!!! Its Awesome!!! Im Never Disappointed!!!
One of the best museums Ive been to. Very clean and up to date with lots to see and do for all ages. Ill definitely bring my family next time Im through. The people here are very friendly as well.
The most inspirational place in Mississippi. My 2nd time going since February and goes to a museum for $5 for First Saturdays are awesome.
Much nicer than I was expecting for downtown Meridian. The exhibits are really awesome and full of little known (to me) facts. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The only thing it was lacking was more content. Usually I approve of the quality over quantity, but in this case I was just left wishing there was more. Definitely worth at least one visit, probably worth a visit every time the changing exhibit changes.
The Mississippi Arts and Entertainment Experience is one of the gems of downtown Meridian. It is an exceptional salute to Mississippis artists, musicians, actors, writers- all those who have contributed to our rich history. The facility is beautiful, modern, and technologically advanced. There are exhibits for all ages. The staff is friendly and courteous. This is a place worth visiting!
Wonderful museum! The building itself is a beautiful addition to downtown Meridian. The exhibits are interesting and interactive. Easy to become fully immersed and lose track of time. I spent hours touring! Definitely tour while the Jim Henson exhibit is in town until May!
Went to the fall harvest festival, and even though it was small, it was great! ❤ Very friendly community atmosphere, and fantastic vendors that offered some really unique items. It was my first taste of the local creative culture here, and I loved it! ❤
We got to tour the MAX for free as part of a business trip. The main attraction at the time was a traveling Jim Henson exhibit, which was cool, but really the permanent exhibit based on famous Mississippi artists and personalities was the most impressive. We were kind of pressed for time, so we only spent about an hour here, but i think you could easily spend an afternoon really taking everything in. The exhibit was not huge, but larger than I initially thought, and I think the ticket price at $14 for admission is definitely reasonable. I would highly recommend.
Bravo Meridian! The MAX may just be the thing that puts Meridian permanently on the map. Ive always enjoyed museums and this one could hold its own with any in the country. We stopped by on a Saturday afternoon, usually a busy time for museums, and were able to go immediately to the ticket counter. Though there were other guests, it was in no way crowded. The museum had wonderfully-executed content, with the majority of the exhibits being interactive. The museum is beautiful, innovative and informative -- again, BRAVO!!
Amazing new center piece for cultural and arts events adjacent Meridians small downtown Plaza. Fits in excellently next to the citys restored Union Station railroad stop and beautifully highlights in its central court the accomplishments of the regional and larger Mississippis arts, literature and music laureats. From William Faulkner to Oprah Winfrey.
Arts and entertainment of Mississippi incredibly well done. Gorgeous, fascinating exhibits that captivated us. Spent at least 3 hours there and only left because we were tired. Highly recommended!!!
A really great experience. Employees are very courteous & respectful. They know the layout & displays throughout the MAX and share their enthusiasm with us visitors. My wife & I thoroughly enjoyed our visit and so did my 16 year old granddaughter from California. Put it on your bucket list.
Wonderful hands on experience of famous people from Mississippi.Just recently built so a variety of rooms for your entertainment. Nice history of the blues
Beautiful venue for a corporate or private event!
Wonderful museum work great exhibits. It does a wonderful job showcasing the arts and artists of Mississippi. One of the most interactive museums I have ever been in, and a great addition for the area.
It is the best for kids and adults to learn about famous people from Mississippi and it is a very clean place to explore and they have very helpful staff and lots of amazing facts and examples of things they had back when they were alive!
Excellent place and a must in the area. There is good parking around, close to several restaurants and other stores.It portrais temporary expositions and a permanent one regarding people related to MS and also the state.Very well designed with excellent facilities and several activities to do for kids, adults and families.A place for everybody to see and for the community to grow.

Nice place. Would of given 5 stars but two people that work there would clean the exhibits while we were trying to see them. Then followed us to the next one and did the same. Felt lime they were rushing us out. Couldnt enjoy it and probably wont be back.
Very nice museum for Mississippis musical & entertainment history. This museum showcases the actors and musicians that are from Mississippi. Both young and old will enjoy this experience. I would definitely recommend this place to others.
We saw the Jim Henson exhibit which was very good. We also checked out the rest of the museum. It has lots if cool, interactive exhibits that kids and adults will enjoy. Parking was easy and free.
Beautiful place. A lot of interactive activities. Great for kids and families or couples.
Very friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful building. More information about Mississippis connection with the Arts than you can take in with just 1 trip. Great location and room to sit and read or take one of the several classes they offer.
A little video shot on iphone to remember how Jim Henson´s Imagination Unimited exhibition was and how cool THE MAX is !!! :D !!!
This is a wonderful museum for our city and our state. It showcases the diversity of our population, artists, actors, authors, artists and how all their talents bind us together as we go forward to the future. Bring your children so they can learn the history with the hands on exhibits.
Did not expect to enjoy myself thought it was going to be boring. But to my surprise it turn out to be very interesting. From the handmade quilts to all the hands on things to do. I hope to get a chance to visit again .
Great new addition to the City of Meridian. The exhibits were very interactive and Im glad they displayed the local art of Meridians budding artists. Awesome job. I cannot wait to come back
This was an amazing experience. I am going back next month when my sister comes to visit. I enjoyed the exhibit in the changing gallery. The exhibit was sculptures of various Mississippians that were scuplted by a blind woman. This is a great place to take young children so they can learn more about the history and people of Mississippi.
What a great place, I learned a lot about Mississippi by just walking through and looking at the pictures and reading the captions. I love Mississippi.
This place is GREAT and I love this place. Great place to take your family and children. Meridian did a great job bringing this place to Meridian, Ms.
A super cool place with a lot of things that make learning about history fun!
Outstanding displays. The Jim Henson exhibit was wonderful. Brought back so many memories. Staff was so very helpful.
Hands down best museum I have ever been too! Totally interactive and audio/visual. Spent hours there, totally engaged!
Well worth the visit! I really enjoyed it! I encourage a visit and you will not be disappointed!
Went to the Henson exhibit. It was so much fun.
We had a lot of fun, it was bigger than I expected and the exhibits were so nice. I wished there was a coffee shop inside or nearby and we got lucky on our visit but parking will be a pain. We will be back soon!
One could spend hours here and enjoy more the next visit. Wonderful.
I was impressed by the first-class exhibits throughout the Max. It rivals museums Ive toured in New York City and Washington D.C. Friendly staff made us feel welcome.
Excellent display of Mississippi born talent. Friendly staff. Jim Henson display was wonderful.
This place is a wonderful addition to Meridian, MS. I only wish I could have stayed longer to explore more of the interactive exhibits. I will definitely be back!
Brought out-of-town visitors, both adult and children. Thoroughly enjoyed by all.
Beautiful museum with an abundance of o interactive displays related to artists, musicians, writers, and actors who all came from Mississippi.
Enjoyed our 40th HS Reunion here. Beautiful venue!!!
A wonderful museum that showcases the talent in Mississippi and how it has reached so many people.
