MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Inside Art, is a hands on gallery currently at the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art that focuses on visual literacy. 

It is the only family art gallery of its kind in Tennessee, and includes elements of reading, seeing, exploring, relaxing and other features. 

A part of this exhibit that guests may find interesting is the "Dream" gallery. Different paintings are shown in a visual above you, and there is an option to choose different songs and sound effects that you think goes with each painting. While watching the video play, there is an area where guests can lay back and relax.
