Things to Do…...

It’s the Birthplace of Rock ‘n’ Roll, the Home of the Blues and the starting point of soul. Music legends including Elvis

Presley, Johnny Cash, B.B. King, W.C. Handy and Otis Redding made their marks on Memphis, where you can hear

their influences today. To complete the “musical medley,” visit Graceland, Sun Studio, the Stax Museum of American

Soul Music and the Memphis Rock ‘n’ Soul Museum. At night, take a walk down Beale Street and listen to the live music

Memphis makes today. We hope while you here, you can visit some of our wonderful tourist attractions.

THE BELZ MUSEUM OF ASIAN & JUDAIC ART: FREE TOUR throughout the duration of

the seminar. The FBA ILS will be offering a free tour of The Belz Museum of Asian & Judaic Art.

Your conference name badge is your admission ticket to the museum. Located at 119 South Main Street

in the Pembroke Square Building, the museum is one block west of the Peabody Hotel and is accessible

from the Main Street Trolley line. Founded in 1998, the Belz Museum of Asian & Judaic Art is

home to a diverse, world-class collection that spans the art of distinct cultures and time periods,

including imperial Asian art, contemporary Judaica, a selection of natural history objects and vari-

ous examples of art and craft from around the world. HOURS: (Closed Mon) Tues-Fri 10:00am-5:30pm; Sat & Sun: 12 noon-

5:00pm Visit the Belz Museum on the web at: www.belzmuseum.org for more information.

BEALE STREET: No trip to Memphis is complete without a walk down Beale Street. With over 25 clubs and

shops to choose from Beale Street has something to offer almost everyone. You could slip into Wet Willies and

get some of the best daiquiris on the street or you could mosey on down to Blues City Cafe and sample some of

the best ribs in the world. Art galleries, t-shirts, good music, getting your fortune told, strange cargo, you name it

and Beale St. probably has it. Be sure to join us on our group outing Saturday evening beginning at 6:00pm.

TROLLEY STOP TOURING: Ride in an authentic vintage trolley car along a breathtaking stretch of

the mighty Mississippi River. There's no better way to get a nostalgic glimpse of Memphis. All the

intricate details of the old trolleys have been faithfully restored to their original elegance. The Main

Street Trolley operates along the beautifully updated Main Street Mall and serves many downtown

landmarks. The famous Pinch District, Cook Convention Center, Civic Center Plaza, Court Square,

Peabody Place, Beale Street, National Civil Rights Museum, FedEx Forum and the South Main His-

toric Arts District can all be easily accessed by the Main Street Trolley. Riders can take the Riverfront Loop Trolley to visit the Ten-

nessee Welcome Center, the grounds of the Pyramid Arena and Mud Island with its Mud Island Monorail, the 5-block long River

Walk, and the Mississippi River Museum.

…. While you’re here

MEMPHIS ZOO AND AQUARIUM: At the Memphis Zoo, get nose-to-nose with polar bears and splashed by sea

lions in Norwest Passage. Visit giant pandas "Ya Ya" and "Le Le" in CHINA, a breathtaking Asian-inspired

exhibit. Take in the sights and sounds of Yellowstone National Park at the new exhibit Teton Trek, featuring

grizzly bears, elk, timber wolves and trumpeter swans. The Memphis Zoo is an interactive and fun experience

for the whole family. Find out what has made it America's #1 Zoo! For more information:

www.memphiszoo.org.

GIBSON BEALE STREET SHOWCASE FACTOY TOURS: An opportunity to witness the intricate process in

the making of a Gibson guitar. You will visit stations specializing in the binding, neck-fitting, painting,

buffing, and tuning that creates these incredible musical instruments. See and hear how Gibson has helped

shape the world of music for over 100 years and continues to set the pace for the musical innovations of

tomorrow. Tour lasts approximately 45 minutes. You will definitely have a new found respect for the guitar

once you have seen the craftsmanship that goes into this art form. www.gibson.com

MEMPHIS PINK PALACE MUSEUM: The Pink Palace Museum is one of the largest museums in the Mid-

South. It features traveling exhibits as well as permanent exhibits & artifacts on the Mid-South's natural and

cultural history, an IMAX theater and the Sharpe Planetarium. www.memphismuseums.org

MEMPHIS ROCK ‘N’ SOUL MUSEUM: Even its location on the legendary Highway 61 and Beale sets this

museum apart. The Memphis Rock ‘n’ Soul Museum offers a comprehensive Memphis music experience

from the rural field hollers and sharecroppers of the 1930s, through the explosion of Sun Studio, Stax and

Hi Records and Memphis’ musical heyday in the 70s, to its global musical influence. Stroll at your own

pace through the seven galleries featuring 3 audio visual programs, more than 30 instruments, 40 cos-

tumes and other musical treasures. The audio tour provides over 300 minutes of information, including

over 100 songs. www.memphisrocknsoul.org

NATIONAL ORNAMENTAL METAL MUSEUM: Located high on a bluff overlooking the Mississippi Riv-

er, the Metal Museum is the only institution in the United States devoted exclusively to the presentation

and promotion of fine metalwork. Changing exhibits of historic and contemporary metal art. Working

blacksmith shop. Shaded sculpture garden overlooking the Mississippi River. Beautiful gift shop featur-

ing jewelry, sculptures and much more. The Museum's permanent collection, displayed periodically,

numbers more than 3,000 objects--some as many as 500 years old. Friendly and knowledgeable staff

guides groups through museum exhibits and blacksmithing demonstrations in the smith. Visitors view the

Mississippi River from the sculpture garden. A unique small museum - Memphis' "Best Kept Secret."

www.metalmuseum.org

SUN STUDIO: During the tours that are given at the bottom half of every hour, you will experience out-

takes from recording sessions, touch Elvis’ first microphone and hear the real history of the studio that

launched the careers of Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, B.B. King and many

more. What trip to Sun Studio would be

complete without adding to your music

collection or grabbing one of the best

milkshakes in town. Sun Studio is still an

active recording business for many nota-

ble artists including U2, JW-Jones, Hu-

bert Sumlin, Larry Taylor and Richard Innes, John Mellencamp and more.
