The Pink Palace

  • January 6, 2005
  • Rated 5 of 5 by dwsmith78 from St. Louis, Missouri
With a name like the Pink Palace, I didn't know what to expect--maybe some overdone Elvis museum? In fact, it is the mansion of the the founder of Piggly Wiggly, turned into one of the best regional history/culture museums I have ever seen. It starts with an excellent exhibit on the natural history of the mid-South. You get the cultural history, including the real strength of the museum--its many walks through examples of period rooms. Oddly enough, every major figure in Memphis always seemed to have a tragic downfall: the native Americans, the founder of Piggly Wiggly, and Elvis. Interesting.

This attraction includes the museum, a planatarium, and an IMAX theater. A separate charge is made for each. The museum sometimes has a temporary exhibit to coordinate with the cultural exhibit offered every summer in the Pyramid. This is best visited June-March, as the place is filled with school children on field trips in April and May.
