Begin your day with a trip to one of the largest art museums in the American South, the Brooks Museum of Art. Dedicated to enriching the lives of visitors through an expanding collection of exhibits and dynamic programs, this museum holds an outstanding collection of art from antiquity to present. Located in the heart of Memphis in Overton Park, Brooks Museum opened in 1916 after a generous donation from a local art lover. This museum soon became a center of cultural activity, and first housed a then-impressive 19 paintings within an 8,000 square foot complex. After three imperative remodels the museum has grown into a 9,000 plus work establishment within 86,000 feet.
