Memphis Brooks Museum of Art
The Memphis Brooks Museum of Art enriches the lives of our diverse community through the Museum's expanding collection, varied exhibitions, and dynamic programs that reflect the art of world cultures from antiquity to present. Founded in 1916, the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art is the oldest and largest fine arts museum in the state of Tennessee, housing one of the most outstanding collections of fine art dating from antiquity to the present. The Museum also hosts world-class traveling exhibitions and several long-term, continuing loans. Located in the heart of Memphis, the Brooks Museum is a dynamic cultural complex consisting of: 29 galleries, art classrooms, a print study room with over 4,500 works of art on paper, a research library with over 5,000 volumes, and an auditorium. Housed in part in the original Beaux-arts style building, a registered U.S. National Landmark, the Brooks' facilities also include the Brooks Museum Store, the acclaimed Brushmark Restaurant, the Holly Court garden, and a grand terrace that overlooks the greens and trees of Memphis' Overton Park.

I am Mario Bacchelli's grand daughter-A painter myself too. Lucia Bacchelli Thanks to Prof.and dearest friend and sublime person (passed away now) Mark Orr ,I went to Memphis when he organized an exibition of my grand father in the late 80's. I am so glad art inspires art through out time. I would love to see this art in motion!!!!!--Lots of Marios work remained in Memphis,others of that period are in our family collection,or around the world....just to let you know,I am personally available for info. Mario was italian,his daughter Elisabetta is still alive in Italy,Me and my brother Mario live in Argentina where his son Andrea emigrated after the second WWar.We have lots of his last works in Memphis,where he died in an accident at early 54 years old. Memphis was his inspiration,both for teaching and paintig..he went back after being a prisoner of war there.Caputered in Tunez.But then died in an accident. Mark Orr and his inmense sensibility and culture keep him alive in M Collapse

Thoroughly enjoyed the film.A little surprised that Sting was included in the line-up and did not think he was in the same league as the others starring but in fairness he did say he had never done opera before. Would have loved to see Sarah Brightman in it as I believe she performed with Pavarotti on stage once. Would also like to know where this film was made because the backdrop for the orchestra was amazing. Excellent film. Collapse

This is actually a free event for all Memphians, and should be a lot of fun. It's a sneak peek at the making of a new ballet inspired by a Mario Bacchelli painting in the collection. It's a bright painting of clubs on Beale Street in the 60's, and the modern ballet is set to music by Aretha Franklin. The party is open to the public, meet the dancers, share a glass of wine and enjoy the art! Collapse

Hooray for ArtsMemphis teaming up with Live from Memphis! This wonderful piece is not just about Botero; it's a mini-documentary about Brooks and how they put exhibitions together, how they choose exhibitions from year to year, and who the people are behind the scenes who make it all happen. Most important, they get to show their PASSION for what the do! Kudos to Live From Memphis and Christopher on a great video! Collapse

I had to go to the Museum to view an exhibit for my online summer school art class-- I was very excited when I realized this was the perfect timing b/c Andy Warhol's exhibit was there. What a GREAT experience this was! I was able to see all the paintings and screenprints in living color. I'm so glad I went. It was worth every second. I can't wait to begin writing my paper about my experience. Collapse

I would so much like to support the idea of introducing art therapy in Uganda especially in the war ravaged areas of Northern Uganda where i happen to come from.I remember doing art therapy with Mutebi Fred and also visiting Hope north.During these interaction i was able to learn a lot from these children especially the former child soldiers.Most of the girls are raped,defiled and the boys have killed and this remains in their minds,and only art can make the change we would like to see in us,since these are the future leaders who are being ignored by the community.They need protection and care in order to re-establish normalcy and be part of the global community.However,those who come up to volunteer and help these children should stand by their objectives and avoid corruption when they get assistance from others to support their community based organizations.I got so touched and made my own illustrations and paintings after researching on Art therapy in the north,topic:WAR Collapse
