Today is not only the first day of Beale Street Music Fest, but the start of Memphis in May in general. There are a few lesser-known Memphis in May events going on today.<\/p>\n
At the National Civil Rights Museum, there is a “Human Rights and Struggle – Polish Transformation and the Art of Posters” exhibit going on. It displays posters as a method of communication and catalyst for change in Memphis in May’s 2015 honored country.<\/p>\n
The Metal Museum has an exhibit of metal artifacts by the well-known Brothers Lopienska firm, founded in Poland in 1862.<\/p>\n
Mud Island River Park has an exhibit from the Chopin Museum in Warsaw, displaying an unconventional look at the pianist’s artistic process and personality.<\/p>\n
The Orpheum has announced its 2015 Summer Movie Series:<\/p>\n
A new liquor and wine store called Quench<\/a> will be coming soon to Second Street. It will be operated by the people who own City Market. Finally, a decent liquor store in the Downtown core! We have needed one for years.<\/p>\n Remember Pranom Pop-Up, the traveling Thai street food pop-up that did nights at High Cotton Brewery and Silly Goose a while back? You can find it at the Tennessee Brewery today. Thanks @ilovememphis for tweeting that info.<\/p>\n High Ground News had a list of 10 obscure site<\/a>s to visit in Memphis. One of them is Downtown: the art gallery in the main First Tennessee branch at Third and Madison. Agreed, absolutely worth a visit.<\/p>\n Less than four hours until the weekend. I really hope I get a spot in my parking garage before Music Fest-goers take them all. I really don’t want tonight to be a late night, but due to people outside my building going “Woooooooooo!!!!!” in the wee hours of the morning, it will be whether I like it or not.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Today is not only the first day of Beale Street Music Fest, but the start of Memphis in May in general.
