Event Rentals

MDAH offers four distinct venues for your events. Seat hundreds for a gala in the Two Mississippi Museums auditorium, host a tea party in Eudora Welty’s Garden, hold a seminar surrounded by history at the Old Capitol Museum, or have a wedding ceremony under the stars on the rooftop porch of the Winter Building. Whether you are planning a small event like a community meeting or a large conference, we can accommodate you. Prior to booking, our event rentals team will consult with you and your professional event planner to select the best venue for your occasion. Faith-affiliated groups may receive a 35% discount for event rental at MDAH venues. The discount is made possible by a grant from the Lilly Endowment Inc.
