Lonely Planet review

Pink Palace Museum & Planetarium sits 3 miles east of downtown. The 1923 mansion was built as a residence for Piggly Wiggly founder Clarence Saunders and opened in 1996 as a natural- and cultural-history museum. It mixes fossils, Civil War exhibits and an exact replica of the original 1916 Piggly Wiggly, the world's first self-service grocery store. It also has an Imax theater; tickets sold separately.
