Pink Palace Museum (the 'Pink Palace')

The Pink Palace Museum and Planetarium occupies the former Clarence Saunders mansion noted for its pink Georgian marble exterior and is the largest general interest museum in Memphis. The building's distinctive pink color and castle-like appearance have made it a frequent subject of light-hearted local jokes and affectionate nicknames. The museum houses regional history exhibits, a planetarium, and an IMAX theater, attracting both tourists and local humor about its flamboyant exterior.
