Story

Whether you’re just passing through or are looking for something new and exciting to do, Memphis, TN, is home to a rich group of attractions known as the Pink Palace Family of Museums. Encompassing a 3D theater, planetarium, nature center, historic houses, and of course, a traditional museum, this unique collection has something for visitors of all ages and preferences to enjoy.

For starters, there’s the group’s namesake: The Pink Palace Museum. With exhibitions showcasing the natural and cultural history of the Mid-South, the museum is home to some of Tennessee’s most captivating artifacts. If history is what piques your interest, don’t skip the nearby historic sites, The Mallory-Neely House and the Magevney House. The former dates back to 1852, while the latter was originally constructed in the 1830s.

While the Pink Palace Family of Museums prides itself on preserving the area’s robust history, it is equally committed to providing an educational outlet focused on the future. From the CTI 3D Giant Theater to the Autozone® Dome at the Sharpe® Planetarium, there are endless ways for visitors to explore the skies and innovations of tomorrow.

In fact, area residents and visitors with a passion for exploration will further delight in the museum group’s additional attractions: the Coon Creek Science Center and the Lichterman Nature Center. Aspiring archaeologists can glimpse fossils from 70 million years ago at the science center, while animal lovers can learn about nearby wildlife at the nature center.

Maintained by the City of Memphis, TN, and Memphis Museums, Inc., the team from Pink Palace Family of Museums shares a collective goal of providing attendees with “lively learning for all.” Whether you’re a student or a vacationer, the group aims to inspire you with exclusive access to culture, the natural world, and technological advancements.

For school groups, organizations, and families alike, the Pink Palace Fa...

Awesome! Tickets are worth the price. This museum is one of the best places to visit in Memphis, besides Graceland. The museum is decent sized and has many interesting exhibits. You can learn lots of science and history from this museum. The Piggly Wiggly inside the museum is the best part. Highly recommend you go here it you are visiting Memphis.

✨Interesting collection of artifacts and fun giftshop! Most natural history specimens have little information accompanying them, and many exhibits were closed for renovation.
