    Was disappointed that some of their better known artist were put up for the special exhibits they had going at the time. However the special exhibits were well worth seeing. Well done

    Disapointed

    Drove out of our way to sèe this gallery, as we like impressionist painting.Bought our tickets and then found out most of it was being updated, so only the cafe, shop, a photo exhibition and 2 small rooms of paintings were on show.

    Not large but worth a look.

    Compared to its neighbor, Memphis Botanical Gardens, it’s small but very attractive. The small garden area is a delight even in October when it’s 90 degrees outside. Does the south have fall? Nonetheless, the walk in the garden and the impressionist artwork in the mansion...More

    Gardens and art

    The gardens and gallery are both small compared to others but together they make a very nice combo. The grounds are well kept. The art is housed in an historic home which also adds to the attraction.

    Nicely laid out and a great gallery too.

    Not too much in bloom this time of year but the art sculptures and Gallery are very nice. A bit out of town but easy to find. This is near Gibson's Donuts so we stopped there for donuts after YUM

    I don't think so. When we were there, I asked if the grounds stayed open after the museum closes at 5; I was told no. Might be worth a call to them though
