Activity Overview
Memphis' Pink Palace Museum is home to a diverse range of exhibits which explore various aspects of Memphis' rich history.

A planetarium and an IMAX Theater round out the considerable amount that is on offer from a visit here.
Things to Do
- When you make your visit try to catch a show at the Museum's 3D Giant Theater. Shows here offer a genuinely immersive experience which transport guests whether the focus is on human history and culture, the beauty of the natural world or the majesty and mystery of our universe.
- 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.
- Until then you can catch their Wonders of the Universe show in the Museum's Mansion Theater.
