Pink Palace Museum
The "new" addition and main Museum building is called the Pink Palace Museum. It houses the Bodine Exhibit Hall, exhibiting a variety of special temporary exhibits each year, and permanent exhibits, which include natural science on the first floor and cultural history on the second floor. Notable among the Museum collections are the Mechanized Clyde Parke Circus, created during the Great Depression by Memphian Clyde Park; and, the first self-service grocery called "Piggly Wiggly," developed by Pink Palace Mansion builder/owner Clarence Saunders, next to the Clyde Parke Circus. First floor natural science exhibits include geology, fossil and animal exhibits.

Pink Palace Mansion
After being closed to the public for 22 years, the Pink Palace Mansion was reopened to the public in 1996. Clarence Saunders, builder of the Mansion, lost his beloved home due to stock reversals in a fight for control of his Piggly Wiggly grocery store stock. Nicknamed "Pink Palace" by Memphians because of the pink marble used in its construction, the Mansion was never occupied by Saunders, but has become a much beloved landmark and enjoyable place to visit for Memphians and tourists alike.
