This is all preliminary talk at the moment as no concrete plans have been settled regarding the long-term future of the Brooks Museum of Art in Midtown.

The museum’s board has voted to allow the museum’s staff and the board’s long-range planning committee to evaluate locations in Memphis outside of Overton Park as possible homes for the Brooks' permanent collection and future museum facilities.
According to the museum’s leadership – which stressed that any potential relocation would be limited to the city of Memphis, not beyond it – the long-range planning committee would first make a recommendation on the museum’s future. It has a menu of options to consider at the moment that include renovations to the existing property at Overton Park, as well as potentially relocating to a new as-yet-undetermined site in the city.
That committee would take a recommendation to the board’s executive committee, which in turn would make a recommendation to the full board, before the board finally votes on a course of action. All that’s been authorized at this point is for the board to consider a relocation of the museum – which celebrated its 100th anniversary last year – as one option among several.

If Brooks does opt to move from Overton Park to another part of the city, where exact could they go?
