Now, when I first heard the name of this museum, I was quite perplexed. What kind of things do they show at a museum named "The Pink Palace"?! Apparently, the founder of the Piggly Wiggly (a southern grocery store chain) built a 36,000 square foot house made out of pink stone. A year afterwards, he went bankrupt and the city of Memphis turned it into a museum. It was called "The Memphis Museum" until the '60's when it became known as "The Pink Palace".
Here are the highlights of a trip with the kids, my sister, and her children!
A Bison head ... with Ethan and Clayton standing in front.
The Girls - Haley and Maecie - looking cute as they "stroll" around the museum.
They have a really cool circus display with wood-carved animals and people that perform tricks.
