Kimball Fine Arts completed their stay in Memphis with an anticipated exploration at the iconic Pro Bass Shops at the Pyramid. The mega store includes a grand hotel, 600,000 gallons of water features; a cypress swamp with 100-foot-tall trees; an interactive National Waterfowling Heritage Center; and a breathtaking glass-floored cantilevering observation deck at the top of the 32-story steel pyramid. A grand time was had by all, including a staple "birthday purchase of fish flops." #KimballFineArts

This museum shared a story of American hopes and dreams, of challenge and change. #KimballProud
