Dixon Gallery and Gardens Reviews

Part of the museum was closed for renovation while we were there, but the section we viewed was nice. The grounds and garden are beautiful.

Since we were there in the late fall we couldn't get the full benefit of the grounds, which although nicely manicured had turned brown due to the weather. The galleries, one of which was the main floor of the former Dixon residence were nice and had excellent exhibits. We got to see the Friedel Dzubas exhibit which is there through January 5th, They offer senior and AAA discounts.

Easily my favorite museum and gardens in Memphis. Worth a visit no matter what.

Such a beautiful place. Wonderful gardens you can escape in and lovely galleries. Can get a very affordable membership or go when it s free. Definitely worth a visit for those visiting Memphis and a good regular retreat for those from the city.

We had a wonderful time at Art on the Rocks recently! We also always enjoy Art on Fire. The Dixon puts on a great party, but not only that, the grounds are so beautiful as is the museum.

We enjoy tge Gallery and its self paced walk thru wa very easy on us slower people.

Stunning gem right across the street from the botanical gardens. Pristine gardens and sculptures, with a beautiful art gallery inside. Would recommend if having time, it's a truly beautiful and peaceful place.

Outstanding art, plants, and scenery.
A MUST visit.

It is very fun and the employees are very nice. And they also are very funny and have fun with their customers ant the same time. I really would prefer families to come explore. What is in this Gallery.

Went as a chaperone for a school field trip. Had beautiful art and gardens. Would be a great spot for a wedding.

My Husband and travel group had a wonderful time in Dixon Gallery & Gardens. wouldn't have missed this beauty in late April 2016

Friendly staff, interesting variety of art, garden area was beautiful

Love coming here. It's very peaceful to just visit and enjoy all the nature. You can also attend a ton of programs like Wednesday munch and learn, Friday meditation, Friday food trucks, Saturday sketches. Tons and tons of events and there's free membership for Memphis teachers.

Pretty cool place. I recommend going early to the free family fun days with your 3-6 year olds, otherwise parking is tough.

Quiet peaceful stroll through impressive botanical gardens

Wonderful experience....enjoyed every minute. Beautiful home,paintings, lovely cafe. Will definitely return.

The Dixon has fabulous exhibits and events throughout the year. Their gardens are stunning and the art exhibits are always unique and interesting. I especially like the Art After Dark and Art on Tap events. There s always something going on at the Dixon!

It's a jewel in midtown Memphis. They always have great exhibits, their permanent collection is fantastic and their gardens are beautiful no matter the season.

Beautiful gallery. Attended A Victorian Holiday by Opera Memphis. Dixon Gallery was the perfect backdrop for a great event.

Great exhibits as well as great staff. They really do a great job. The cafe was amazing as well.

We never fail to enjoy our visits to Dixon Gallery & Gardens! The exhibits are always wonderful and a walk through the gardens and the grounds is always a balm to the soul. We are always amazed that such a perfect gem is tucked away in the middle of our city!

Beautiful woodland gardens and lawns. Tulip display in Spring is outstanding. Currently exhibiting bonsai trees some as old as 85 years.

It is really beautiful and if you love art and need 3$ to spare then this is the place ... but be mindful that you can t take many pictures inside

Wonderful place for a relaxing afternoon. Thank you for your support to our military and their families.

Most beautiful gardens, very peaceful even in hot weather!

Loveliest museum and gardens in Memphis. Wonderful knowledgeable staff and friendly security.

It was okay. Not worth paying for. Go on Saturdays when it's free.

Best botanical gardens I've been to in this state! Museum is lovely and clean.

The Dixon is a Memphis jewel! Not only are the exhibits top notch, but they have great programs, including Lunch & Learn, Art After Dark, and quarterly free Family Days! This is a great place for everybody.

Lots of cool art and a neat garden to walk through.

A great small art museum hidden away in a beautiful garden.

What a great way to spend our Friday afternoon. Me and my love went for lunch and decided to take in the Garden today. What a great idea that turn out to be. We meet some of the smart school age child on a field trip. We watching an artist paint a piece of art live. We bird watched say and read the paper and listen to the fountain stream water. If you have never experienced this Free part of Dixon Gallery and Garden , then you are missing an absolute master piece. Trust me on this one the kids will be thanking you for years and it's so romantic. Next, week we explore the Dixon original family seating area.

A museum must see. I enjoy the different art installations and the gardens are peaceful to walk in.

Since we were there in the late fall it's hard to fully rate the gardens. The galleries, one of which was the main floor of the former Dixon residence were nice and had excellent exhibits.They offer senior and AAA discounts.

Beautiful setting. Gardens are so serene. Staff was very friendly. Cafe was worth a stop too! Scavenger hunt and magnifying glasses kept it interactive enough for my 5 year old, although the museum won't be his favorite spot to go. However he loved the gardens and the cupcake at the cafe!

Lovely gardens, beautiful paintings. Also, love the kids showing area.

A great place to stretch your legs as well as see some artwork. The usual collection contains works by French Impressionists as well as installations by Jeff Koons, Rodin, and Jun Kaneiko. The grounds are manicured, with bubbling fountains and sculptures throughout. Also a great place for weddings and events, as they do rent the space out. Free on Saturday mornings and pay what you can all Tuesday 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.

Tulips are in full bloom. The wife and I took our daughter to have her picture made. Gorgeous!

colorful Tulips, go with light snack and beverages, they have places to sit and enjoy mother nature. There is Entry fee -$7

We always enjoy the exhibitions here. A quiet, intimate gallery that lets you get pretty close to the art. And the gardens are a work of art themselves.

Museum was great, but rainy day made for a quick garden run. Not their fault!

I love that in the summertime they have Food Truck Fridays. Beautiful grounds and they also have a neighborhood library, the ones that look like a doll house, on a post, full of books.

I love this place. The springtime blooms are breathtaking! Quiet and small area which is peaceful to me . A little cafe is there now too. Love the art and flowers and helpful kind staff !

Great gallery with plenty to see. Beautiful art work with beautiful gardens

Beautiful works of art, and a great staff of employees.

Friendly Staff! Awesome Display and fascinating artifacts..

This is a great place for a pleasant garden walk and a beautiful art gallery. There is a permanent exhibit, of course, but I enjoy the temporary exhibits that come through. The variety is good in terms of media and culture.
I've been to several work-related conferences in the meeting room, which is a delightful setting.
Saturday mornings before noon admission is free, so we drop by for a leisurely stroll through about once a month.
During the summers, Food Truck Fridays are a lot of fun as well.

The staff is wonderful and informative. The admission is cheap and they offer specials too.

A natural paradise in Memphis! Bring a book, buy a latte at the coffee shop, and enjoy the calm and natural environment of Dixon Gallery & Gardens.

Beautiful. Went to plant sale and want to go back to tour!

Beautiful grounds and the gallery of self portaits was absolutely fantastic.

Morning Yoga at Dixon Gardens is invigorating and relaxing!

The gardens are very peaceful, and we wandered for a while before going inside. The collections there are small but beautiful, with very many famous painters and interesting art pieces. The temporary exhibit on display during our visit was on perfume, and was a very interesting plunge into this facet of history and art. My visit in the spring caught blooming gardens and trees. I enjoyed the setting as I hadn't on a previous visit in the winter. I was there for the State of the Art exhibit and enjoyed the found art theme. The shop is small and carried a nice array of interesting gifts. So much to see!

Pretty friendly staff. They were really helpful with my project for school and we're really enthusiastic about the collections.
Beautiful property.

Went here for a wedding and everything there was just beautiful.
