Memphis Brooks Museum of Art
Memphis Brooks Museum of Art, Art museum in Overton Park, Memphis, United States
The Memphis Brooks Museum houses over ten thousand artworks across 29 galleries, including paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints, photographs, and decorative arts collections.
The 1913 Beaux-Arts structure, designed by James Gamble Rogers and funded by Bessie Vance Brooks, established Tennessee's first art museum in 1916.
The Samuel H. Kress Collection presents Renaissance and Baroque paintings, while English portraits include works from Gainsborough, Reynolds, Lawrence, and Romney.
The museum operates Wednesday through Sunday, offering free admission every Saturday between 10 AM and noon, plus special exhibitions and educational programs.
A 1989 expansion doubled the facility size, incorporating a three-story gallery space where original and new buildings connect through innovative architectural design.
