University Museum and Historic Houses

This is for Now. This is for Ever. This is for the UM Museum.

The University of Mississippi Museum and Historic Houses complex serves as the Oxford epicenter of enriching cultural opportunities for the campus, local, and regional communities. The UM Museum offers exceptional collections, from Greek and Roman antiquities and Southern folk art to 19th-century scientific instruments, as well as exhibitions, programming, and activities for all ages at no cost to our community members. Additionally, the Museum manages Nobel Prize-winning writer William Faulkner’s Rowan Oak, one of the country’s most acclaimed literary sites and a National Historic Landmark.

A primary mission of the Museum and Historic Houses is to keep these cultural treasures accessible to everyone. Today, you can help the University Museum build resources to offer high-quality, compelling experiences to students, community members, and visitors year after year.

Your support of the UM Museum not only preserves accessibility but also preserves our art and history.

Your gift goes further on Giving Day! Several members of the UM Family are challenging you to make a difference in the lives of student and community members. Maximize your impact by answering these challenges and helping us unlock critical resources. Your gift - no matter the size - makes a difference. 

It’s easy to give! Ole Miss Giving Day accepts Apple Pay, Venmo, PayPal, and all major credit cards.
