The Ohr–O'Keefe Museum of Art is a non-profit art museum located in Biloxi, Mississippi, dedicated to the ceramics of George E. Ohr, the self-proclaimed "Mad Potter of Biloxi". The museum is named for ceramic artist George E. Ohr (1857–1918), as well as Annette O'Keefe, late wife of former Biloxi mayor Jeremiah Joseph O'Keefe III, who was instrumental in donating money and raising funds for the completion of the museum campus.
