“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to build a world-class new home for Memphis’ art collection,” the museum’s executive director said. “Right now, Memphis is known for music, barbecue and the Grizzlies. In 2026, it will also be known for its history, present and future, as a world-class, visual arts destination.”
