PINK PALACE MUSEUM In 1922 grocery store magnate, Clarence Saunders, founder of the Piggly Wiggly grocery chain, announced to the press with his typical flair & fanfare that he wou ld build a palariaal estate on the eastern fringe of Memphis Tennessee. Saunders named his 36,500 sq ft house, faced with pink Georgia marble, "Cla-de-Clare" after his 3 children, but Memphians nicknamed it the Pink Palace. Saunders lost his fortune before the building was complete, & the Mansion opened as the Memphis Musuem of Natural Historry & Industrial Arts in 1930. David Lynch is a celebrated Memphis based artist who feels the Heart & Soul of this great city in every brushstroke of paint applied. Show more
