National Civil Rights Museum

Like walking through a time machine. This place should be a requirement for every child growing up in America. It was powerful and is undoubtedly a must stop if going through Memphis

The content had such a profound impact on us-we were actually overwhelmed with information. The displays are almost too busy and too numerous for a single walkthrough.
The commercialization represented by the gift shops that you must exit through is tacky and reminded us of a Disney theme park-certainly the history of civil rights struggles merits a classier treatment!

It has been expanded a TON since my last visit, but even when it was smaller it was one of the most powerful places I'd ever been. They've kept the exterior of the motel the same as it was the day MLK was assassinated, and just seeing that will give you chills. History comes alive here. If you're visiting Memphis with children you MUST visit this museum. One of the most incredible museums I've ever visited.

This place is a must do for anyone in the Memphis area. Very powerful interactive exhibits that will keep you fighting back your tears. My children learned a lot.

A powerful place to visit. We were told the the tour would take about 2 hours, but we could have spent at least twice that seeing all the exhibits. Seeing the motel room left as it was the day of the assassination leaves you speechless.

the location of where MLK was shot and now a powerful civil rights museum. i bring people here every time i come to Memphis, don't miss out on this real life american history lesson.

This place is AMAZING. Such historical value. Definitely a must-see for anyone who appreciates history.

Amazing!!!!! A heart wrenching experience. We will be back !

Unbelievable!!!!! A heat wrenching powerful experience. We will be back!

Powerful, sobering. The exit through gift shop and some of the merchandise itself is a bit much...
