Brooks Museum of Art

Profile

Director's Welcome       

The Brooks is your art museum, a place where you can experience the transformative power of art. As one of the largest and most innovative art museums in the American South, the Brooks is recognized nationally for the museum's innovative educational programs, continual community outreach, and world-class art collection. 

Thanks to ninety-five years of community engagement in Memphis, the Brooks takes an enthusiastic leadership role in building an aspirational future for our city. Inspiration and great accomplishments from antiquity to present are all in evidence here at the Brooks.  By bringing to life the objects and ideas in our collections, we connect people to one another across cultures, time and geography. 

I invite you to visit often, participate in the many public programs we offer and consider membership in the museum. I look forward to seeing you.
