Ohr-O'Keefe Museum of Art - Frank Gehry - Biloxi, MS - Master Architects - Deconstructivism on Waymarking.com

The Museum's Website (visit link) indicates

"The Ohr-O’Keefe Museum of Art celebrates the innovative, independent and creative spirit of our namesake Mississippi master potter George Ohr (1857-1918).

In a fitting tribute to Ohr, artist and architect Frank Gehry designed an award-winning campus of bold, intriguing, self-sufficient structures. The four new buildings and the reconstructed home of Pleasant Reed offer visitors separate but not isolated experiences – together creating a single unified vision connected by the expansive brick plaza and the majestic Live Oaks. For our guests of all ages and interests, let the landscape be relaxing and the art inspiring, invigorating, and challenging."

which adds-
"The five-building museum campus was designed by architect Frank Gehry to "dance" with the ancient live oak trees on the 4-acre (1.6-hectare) site.

Construction of museum buildings began in 2004. In August 2005, the museum was damaged during Hurricane Katrina, when a casino barge was washed onto the semi-constructed facility."
