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. King, to celebrate the rich cultural heritage of the Mississippi Delta, and to promote pride, hope, and understanding through exhibitions and educated programs."〔(B. B. King Museum and Delta Interpretive Center ), web site, accessed April 2, 2007〕 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. King and displays exhibits about his life and the lives of other musicians of the delta region and the culture where the blues arose. In 2015, shortly after his death at age 89, King was buried at the museum and center in a planned memorial garden.〔http://www.mpbonline.org/blogs/news/2015/06/01/blues-legend-bb-king-laid-to-rest-in-indianola/〕 ==See also== *Delta Blues Museum *List of museums in Mississippi 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「B.B.
