While in Memphis, Gerry and I are excited to see some of the city's great premier attractions.
Highly recommended is the Pink Palace Museum which is a major science and
history museum featuring a wide range of fascinating exhibits. This museum is part of a larger
family of museums in the Pink Palace Family of Museums.
The Pink Palace, features some
great exhibits which relate directly to the history of Memphis. One of the
exhibits is an exact replica of a Piggly Wiggly, the very first self-serve
supermarket which opened in 1916. It will be interesting to see how much things
have or have not changed in over a hundred years.
The museum is also filled with
exhibits featuring social change as well as archaeological
findings.
The Pink Palace is also the home
of the only IMAX theatre,( which I love) in the mid-south as well as the Sharpe Planetarium.The planetarium is a large theatre in which you can take a journey through the
galaxy projected onto the ceiling in a spectacular fashion that is both
entertaining and educational at the same time.
With a great variety of
exhibitions and attractions the Pink Palace is definitely not to be missed when
we are exploring Memphis.
