Before you go

Use the live details that matter

  • Give the Civil Rights Museum the time and emotional space it deserves; it is not a check-the-box attraction.
  • Use Beale Street for a set or a drink, then let South Main, Cooper-Young, or Overton Square show you a different Memphis night.

Confirm current access, hours, reservations, and conditions with Official National Civil Rights Museum information.
