In advance of today’s groundbreaking, Brooks raises $135M for Downtown museum
The new Brooks Museum will have 50% more gallery space and 600% more art-filled public spaces than its previous Midtown location; it will include a rooftop and garden as well as a plaza that will be open to the public without a ticket during museum hours. (Courtesy Memphis Brooks Museum of Art)
“The astonishing thing about this campaign is that the first $100 million was raised without a rendering or a clear visual of what the new museum will look like.”
