Memphis’ new art museum comes with 600 percent more free and art-filled public spaces for you to enjoy.
Memphis’ new museum is designed to beckon you in from Front Street and connect you with an enormous community courtyard, next-level theater, and enough art experiences to bring you back for more.
The enormous community courtyard at the center of Memphis’ new art museum will be an escape from the business of downtown and home to the large-scale community events from Dia de los Muertos and Lunar New Year to ChalkFest, and much more.
The River Window will perfectly frame the Mississippi and be one of the many moments to connect with the natural beauty of the river.
The stairs leading from the River Window up to the courtyard create a not-so-miniature amphitheater and event space to enjoy all art forms.
Not your typical black box, the theater takes advantage of incredible views and offers a perfect space for public lectures, presentations, and artist talks. When not explicitly programmed, the theater will be an open space for co-working, catching up with friends, or recharging your creative batteries.
