Fantastic collection of Chinese art and carvings! We'll lit and multiple signs.as.to what the art is about.The judicial art is ancient as.well as modern with a special room for the Holocaust museum. Well worth the $6. Entrance!
A wonderful and informative museum. Learned quite a bit about Asian and Judiac history. The Holocaust museum was poignant and the personal stories were moving. Definitely worthwhile visit.
Loved it! The carvings are amazing. A priceless collection and a real hidden treasure in the heart of Memphis.
Amazing Ivory and mammoth tusk carvings, moving holocaust images, fantastic sculptures - a great place to visit.
I went to the Belz Museum of Asian & Judaic Art with a friend and we were not disappointed!We were blown away by all we saw. Great pieces of art everywhere and so much History too! Highly recommended for anyone interested in arts in general.They also have a gift shop with all kinds of cool little things with great prices.Entry is $6 ($4 for students).
Our son's wedding pictures are to die for. The staff even helped tear down the decorations. No one in their wildest dreams thought of this place for a wedding reception in our arena of friends. People are still talking about it. Just go for the tour!!
When Memphis is mentioned, Jewish/Asian art is not the first thing that comes to mind. However, this awesome museum, located right downtown was a true mind expanding experience, and perfect for a rainy day. My wife is Jewish and loves oriental art, so it was a perfect trade off with her for my Sun Studio excursion. And, I was not at all bored by it, either... Like a Chick Flick with car chases.
Small museum of Asian & Judaic Arts.-Asian: nice collection of Asian muppets and some nice Asian pieces (Jade carvings…)-Judaic: a very interesting "Holocaust Memorial Gallery", with portraits and testimonials from the “Living On” exhibit. (touching).Consider 1h - 1h30.
I've lived in memphis my whole life and never knew about this little treasure. More of a gallery than a museum but it was magical. The intricate jade carvings were unlike anything I've ever seen. VERY affordable! Plan about an hour to two. Very reasonable gift shop and cute, friendly staff. Do yourself a favor-visit!
This is a definite for your itinerary if you love treasures and unique art pieces. They have a fabulous collection of jade carvings that are unbelievable. The pieces are all so unique and I have never seen anything quite like this gallery. Very cool for anyone that enjoys art of all kinds.
