Below is the breakdown of the exhibition’s elements. Gallery Element 1: Introduction: Jimmy and the Gulf of Mexico This preliminary area begins with a short introduction to the Gulf of Mexico through Jimmy’s eyes and lyrics. There will be references to the very strong ties that Jimmy Buffett and the Buffett family have to the Gulf Coast Region. The section will feature family photos and artifacts of Jimmy’s childhood in Mobile and Mississippi. It will also highlight Jimmy’s elementary and high school days, time spent with his family at Mobile’s Mardi Gras celebrations, the first clubs and places he performed and the Chiquimula, the burned remains of the ship his grandfather captained, that still peeks out of the waters in Mobile Bay.
