Mission Statement
The mission of the Memphis Cotton Museum is to share the story of the cotton industry and its many influences on daily life, the arts, and the development of the Mid-South region with students, residents, and visitors. We accomplish this through interpretive exhibits, educational programs, and research archives on the floor of the historic Memphis Cotton Exchange in the city that remains the epicenter of worldwide cotton trading.
