The B.B. King Museum and Delta Interpretive Center is a Delta blues museum with the mission to "preserve and share the legacy and values of B. B.

The museum is located at 400 Second Street, Indianola, Mississippi, USA, B.B. King's hometown.

The B.B. King Museum and Delta Interpretive Center opened on September 13, 2008. The museum features a restored brick cotton gin building in which B.B. King worked in the 1940s. The museum also contains an extensive collection of artifacts owned by B.B.

In 2015, shortly after his death at age 89, King was buried at the museum and center in a planned memorial garden.

We came here via the Americana Tour to capture the guitar out in front of the museum. What is displayed in a Gibson Les Paul, whereas BB King is associated with a Gibson ES-335 Double Cutaway Semi- Hollow guitar. Unusual.
