Memphis - Overton Park

To the east of downtown Memphis, between Poplar Avenue and East Parkway, are Overton Park and Overton Square, the center of midtown Memphis's night life. In addition to numerous restaurants and bars there is the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art, the oldest and largest art museum in Tennessee, with a collection that ranges from pictures by way of printed graphic art to textiles. In the north-west corner of the park are the Memphis Zoo and Aquarium.
