History
[edit | edit source]The organization was founded to renovate the Pink Palace Museum in 1970s. The museum system was also involved in the planning for the Mississippi River Museum on Mud Island.[9]
In 2000, the system changed its name to the Pink Palace Family of Museums.[10] In 2021, all of the museums were rebranded as branches of the Memphis Museum of Science and History to emphasize the shared management.[11] However, the museum branding was reverted in 2024, with MoSH organization being renamed to the Memphis Museums of Science and History.[12]
