The Walter Anderson Museum of Art is located in Ocean Springs, Mississippi. The museum was dedicated in 1991 to preserve the works of Walter Inglis Anderson, known for his paintings of animals, plants and people, and his brothers Peter Anderson, a potter and James McConnell Anderson, painter and ceramist. The museum was the result of the initiative of the Friends of Walter Anderson, an organization chartered in 1974. The museum was built on Washington Avenue in Ocean Springs. The land was leased from Jackson County. The architect Edward Pickard designed the building in the style of the Shearwater compound. The Museum includes the public side that showcases Walter Anderson's artwork, the Ocean Springs Community Center Murals, and the private Little Room, which showcases art treasures discovered after the artist’s death in 1965.
