When having your local Memphis moving company pack up all of your belongings and move your family into a new home, chances are that you are already looking for something to do as a break from the hustle and bustle of packing everything up. Lucky for you, there are a multitude of Memphis museums to visit that will teach you about your new home, as well as provide a welcomed distraction.
The Pink Palace Museum
One of the largest of its kind in the Southeast, the Pink Palace Museum has a walk through replica of the first self-service grocery store in the country, Piggly Wiggly. Once there, you can also explore the history of the South with interactive exhibits and audio-visuals. This is also a great place to meet new people after your move to Memphis; over 5,000 locals came for the museum’s 75th anniversary party!
Memphis Museum of Art
Housing a massive collection of art from all decades, the Memphis Museum of Art hosts almost 20,000 children in free school tours each year. On top of the amount of students that the museum hosts every year, families come to experience the independent film series, visiting lecturers, dance performances, concerts, and various other free family events. The Memphis Museum of Art is the perfect place to get your whole family excited about having your Memphis moving company help settle you into your new home.
The Children’s Museum of Memphis
For those moving to Memphis with younger children, you will not want to miss out on taking them to the Children’s Museum of Memphis. The museum was created only after developers took into consideration all of the best exhibits at children’s museums across the nation, so your children may have a hard time deciding to play in the splash park, the outdoor play space, the children’s circus school, or playing ball on one of the museum’s many outdoor sports courts.
