History

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.
In 2000, the system changed its name to the Pink Palace Family of Museums. In 2021, all of the museums were rebranded as branches of the Memphis Museum of Science and History to emphasize the shared management. However, the museum branding was reverted in 2024, with MoSH organization being renamed to the Memphis Museums of Science and History.
