The time is now to support the University of Mississippi Museum and Historic Houses!
Members of the UM community are challenging you to make a difference. Maximize your Giving Day impact by answering these challenges and helping us unlock critical resources. Your gift – no matter the size – makes a difference.
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. Today, you can help the University Museum and Historic Houses build resources to offer high-quality, compelling experiences.
