MEMPHIS BROOKS MUSEUM OF ART
The Memphis
Brooks Museum of Art enriches the
lives of our diverse community
through the Museum's expanding
collection, varied exhibitions, and
dynamic programs that reflect the
art of world cultures from antiquity
to present.
Founded
in 1916, the Memphis Brooks Museum
of Art is the oldest and largest
fine arts museum in the state of
Tennessee, housing one of the most
outstanding collections of fine art
dating from antiquity to the
present. Strengths of the collection
include Italian Renaissance and
Baroque paintings and sculpture,
principally gifts of the Kress
Foundation; English portraits;
European and American paintings,
sculpture and decorative arts; and a
significant collection of works on
paper, including drawings,
watercolors, prints and photographs.
The Museum also hosts world-class
traveling exhibitions and several
long-term, continuing loans.
The Memphis Brooks
Museum of Art is pleased to announce
its association with Emerging
Pictures, a New York-based film
company. The museum will present
several award-winning independent
films over the next few months.
All films are shown at the Dorothy
K. Hohenberg Auditorium
