This is just the tip of the iceberg. In reality, Stuart has over twenty thousand pieces of country music nostalgia, which will one day settle in the future home of Marty Stuart’s Congress of Country Music in Philadelphia. This Congress will be a celebration of country music and a culmination of the musician’s lifelong goals. As a young boy, Stuart first experienced rhythm and blues at the Busy Bee Café, now the Busy Bee Suites in Philadelphia. Virgil Griffin and Rhythm Kings frequently played there, and now the group’s original bass drumhead can be enjoyed by guests at the Two Mississippi Museums. Eagle-eyed visitors will recognize the namesake for Stuart’s second solo album from 1982. A school essay also hangs in the halls of the exhibit. A young Stuart was asked by his teacher, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” to which Stuart wrote, “a musician.” Now his answer has come full circle. The World of Marty Stuart will be open to the public at the Two Mississippi Museums through December and has a slew of events on the calendar for this fall. On September 1st, a “Country Music Trivia Night” will be held to celebrate the exhibit. Cost of entry is $12 (cash only) per person and will include food, beer, and wine. The first-place team will win a cash prize. A few weeks later, women country performers from Mississippi will gather for “Women in Country Music: Songs and Conversation” on September 15th. The musicians will share their musical inspirations and favorite artists and perform a few songs for guests. On October 20th, the Two Mississippi Museums will host Manuel Cuevas, the “Rhinestone Rembrandt,” celebrity fashion designer, for a “Country Music Fashion Show.” Cuevas began sewing at age seven and is responsible for hundreds of modern country music outfits including those worn by Marty Stuart, Johnny Cash, Porter Wagoner, and more. Manuel will discuss pieces on display in The World of Marty Stuart exhibit as well as additional pieces from his private collection. Visitors can be a part of preserving country music by attending these nostalgic events. More details can be found at worldofmartystuart.mdah.ms.gov. Coinciding with the opening of the exhibit was the publication of Stuart’s memoir, The World of Marty Stuart. The book covers his life with photographs and artifact reproductions straight from his collection. It was published by MDAH and distributed by the University Press of Mississippi. The World of Marty Stuart is brought to you by the title sponsor, Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Mississippi, as well as by AT&T and Visit Mississippi. It runs through December 31, 2022, with regular exhibit hours: Tuesday - Saturday, 9am - 5pm and Sunday, 11am - 5pm For more information, visit mdah.ms.gov. 26 • AUGUST 2022
