We spent the night in Memphis last night and today got up early to visit the Pink Palace Museum. It is over 35,000 square feet of museum, gift shop, dining area, planetarium and IMAX.
We really enjoyed the preserved birds and other animals.
The shrunken head was a bit creepy.
This is a former exterior wall but it now protected by an addition to the building. You can see the pink coloration where it got the nickname Pink Palace.
I loved exploring all the little displays. There wasn’t a lot we could touch so we spent extra time at the touchy areas.
The hand carved wooden circus was really neat to look at as well.
I liked playing “find everything in the display” in the fossil areas.
We saw a planetarium show after we finished up in the museum. It was a great break from all the driving.
