Love any natural history museums. Throw in some cultural history as well - bonus. Fantastic building and its history. Well done.

Clarence Saunders built the magnificent mansion right before the stock market crash. It is constructed of Pink Marble. After the city took it over and turned the Palace into a natural history museum, they added an addition to the side of it which houses more exhibit space, a planetarium, and an Imax theater. Many of the exhibits relate to Mr.... More

I loved the way they have captured the South through the eyes of the residents of Memphis. You will see an old grocery store, pharmacy, medical supplies, clothes worn in the civil war as well as beautiful gowns worn in coming out dances. They also have an extensive pre-historic exhibit.

The Pink Palace has always been a sort of well put together hodge podge of a place, taking you through natural history (with dinosaurs!), geology, Memphis history (complete with dioramas of Civil War battlefield "surgery") , a replica of the first ever full service grocery store, and traveling exhibits of everything from the cotton industry to the bio-mechanics of the...

This place has so much history. Its one of the coolest places to visit. The Piggly Wiggly exhibit is so cool, and the miniature circus... More

A visit to the Pink Palace Museum never fails to be an entertaining learning experience. We live an hour away and drop in from time to time for various exhibits or sometimes for the IMax theater. The permanent exhibits are fun and informational, I think our family's favorite is probably the Piggly Wiggly grocery store replica which is a replica... More
