The mission of MCM is to create unparalleled experiences to inspire excellence and a lifelong joy of learning.
The museum accomplishes this mission through hands-on and engaging exhibits and programs focusing on literacy, the arts, science, health and nutrition–the keys to helping our children mature into healthy and productive adult learners.

To inspire Mississippi’s children from all backgrounds to discover and achieve their potential
Core Values:
We take fun seriously. We provide children innovative learning experiences that tap their curiosity and creativity. We reach diverse populations throughout the state. We develop partnerships that empower children and those who care for them. We are responsible stewards of our resources.
