Pink Palace Museum

Activity Overview

Memphis' Pink Palace Museum is home to a diverse range of exhibits which explore various aspects of Memphis' rich history. The region's natural history is investigated along with the social and cultural history of its people from the time of the first settlers in the region up to the present day. A planetarium and an IMAX Theater round out the considerable amount that is on offer from a visit here.

• The Theater's Blast from the Past series is a lot of fun too as they screen old classics on the magnificent screen.
• The Museum's old planetarium is currently undergoing extensive renovations to upgrade it to a fully digital display. These renovations should bring the entire experience impressively up to date and will be done in Spring of 2015.
