Museum Hours
Tuesday-Saturday 10AM-5PM

The Ohr O’Keefe Museum of Art has nearly completed installation of a new staircase, the final piece of a design plan created more than 20 years ago by the late Frank Gehry.

The staircase, visible from Highway 90 in east Biloxi, connects to the museum’s ceramics building. Installation took less than a week.

The structure is named “The Grand Marilyn Staircase” and is designed to replicate Hollywood star Marilyn Monroe’s figure. Gehry designed the other pods on the museum’s campus.

Have you noticed something happening at the Ohr O'Keefe Museum of Art?

We are officially in the final stage of completion of our Frank Gehry-designed campus as the staircase comes together.

It’s incredible to watch this final piece of the vision take shape right here on the Biloxi waterfront.

Stay tuned for campus activation dates, celebrations, and exciting announcements still to come!
