this was the most awesome exhibit I have ever seen, I saw this listed in museums on the internet and knew my daughter would enjoy it, but I enjoyed it just as much or more. I wish we could have taken pictures. I would love to be able to show the chariot to people I tell about the place.

We saved this museum for last because it was close to our hotel and we had a 3 pm flight; so were confident we could whiz thru it. What an absolute thrill to see so many fabulously wonderful pieces. An interesting combo museum, part of it treasures of all types and sizes from Asia-mostly China and the other part a... More

I've been in lots of galleries before but have never seen Oriental art like this. Where did they find all this? I only wish we were allowed to take pictures, even without a flash.

We enjoyed the intricate Oriental art, and the Judiac Art was very moving. It's hard to believe one family collected all of this, and donated all of it to Memphis as a museum.

What a great place! Spent a couple of hours seeing things you won't see anywhere else! Unbelievable ivory and jade sculptures and so much more.

Beautiful collection of art in different mediums - some of the Asian sculptures are incredible with the intricate attention to detail. Very impressive works

A private collection that has some interest. Really more like two separate collections one china one judaica or Israeli artists. There is nothing that unites these two collections. Most interesting is the man who owns this collection and how he has arranged it's management. He started in real estate so I assume he owns the building. He donated his collection... More

Some amazing asian art. Beautiful exhibits of truly astounding craftsmanship. So much to see. Take your time, we had to rush at the end as they were closing so really didn't get to spend time reading and learning about the judaic art section.

A terrific collection in an unexpected place. Some of the most interesting photographs of Jewish people in unusual locations such as Yemen and India.

We actually wanted to go down to the Peabody and see the ducks march but got downtown early and had heard about this place so took a walk and found it. Price was very reasonable (don't remember exactly how much). I was rather disappointed in the Judaic art section and we went through it fairly quickly. Mostly newer pieces and... More
