Metal Museum
The only museum in the United States dedicated to metal arts and crafts, housed in a former naval hospital building on the bluffs above the Mississippi River.
The museum displays jewelry, ironwork, sculpture and other metal art. Its outdoor sculpture garden overlooks the river and the Harahan Bridge, making it one of the best river-view spots in South Memphis. Blacksmithing demonstrations are often held on weekends. Admission is about $10, and the museum is closed on Mondays. The museum plans to relocate to a new site, so check before you visit.
