Official WebsiteMemphis Art Museum is the bold new downtown home of the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art, rising on the Mississippi River bluff along Front Street in downtown Memphis, Tennessee. Designed by Pritzker Prize-winning Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron in partnership with Memphis firm archimania, the roughly 122,000-square-foot building pairs a luminous glass gallery pavilion with a sculpted earthen base that reconnects the city to its riverfront. The campus expands gallery space by about 50 percent and adds generous free public space, including a street-level community courtyard and a rooftop sculpture garden overlooking the river. Home to the region's largest collection of world art spanning thousands of years, the museum anchors a new downtown cultural campus and offers free admission to Shelby County residents.
