Memphis Art Museum to open downtown in Dec. 2026

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- The Brooks Museum, soon to be renamed the Memphis Art Museum, announced Thursday that the museum is set to open in December of next year.

The $180 million facility broke ground on the 122,000-square-foot site at Front Street and Union Avenue in June 2023, after the demolition of a fire station and parking garage. • Memphis Art Museum rendering Courtesy of Memphis Art Museum • Memphis Art Museum rendering Courtesy of Memphis Art Museum • Memphis Art Museum rendering Courtesy of Memphis Art Museum • Memphis Art Museum rendering Courtesy of Memphis Art Museum • Memphis Art Museum rendering Courtesy of Memphis Art Museum • Memphis Art Museum rendering Courtesy of Memphis Art Museum • Memphis Art Museum rendering Courtesy of Memphis Art Museum • Memphis Art Mu
