| About: | Memphis' main museum is housed in a marble building completed in 1916. The architecturally beautiful rooms house an outstanding collection of medieval art and a small but worthwhile collection of Impressionist works. One room is dedicated to a "touch" exhibit for vision-impaired visitors. Temporary exhibits include a patriotic show held during the Memphis in May Festival . The restaurant, the Brushmark, is a fine place to lunch, especially when the outside patio is open, which looks out on Overton Park . |

Brooks Museum: This museum is a must if you are in Memphis! It has a very nice permanent collection with gallery exhibits as well. I have always enjoyed my visits to the Brooks Museum! AND they have a great gift shop!
Had a most excellent time!: My first museum visit with a friend turned out to be wonderful. It was not crowded and we felt like we were not rushed to view the art and move on. The temperature was chilly, so I was glad that I brought a jacket. Also, I am glad that I wore comfortable shoes. The restrooms and the interior of the building were clean. We felt safe going from the car to the building and then back to the car at the end of our visit. There was a little red squirrel that played right beside my car, which was beside one many of the beautiful, mature trees and I remember leaving the parking lot with a very good feeling inside. It was well worth the money and the time spent and suitable for everyone from every age group that can appreciate art.
Memphis Brooks Museum of Art: Excellent display of Art. I had a few paintings on display there myself.
