Elvis Presley’s Graceland is preparing for a summer filled with a variety of events, concerts, and numerous other reasons why this is the summer to visit the home of the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll in Memphis.

Graceland’s daily tours give fans and music lovers the opportunity to experience how Elvis lived and spent his time. This summer, visitors can enjoy an all-new tour experience, updated exhibits, as well as get a last chance look at one of our fan favorite exhibitions.

• The all-new Inside the Archives Ultimate VIP Tour takes visitors behind-the-scenes to view the work being done to preserve Graceland’s precious collection of the more than 1.5 million artifacts. Whether it be conservation work on one of Elvis’ dazzling jumpsuits or prepping for an upcoming touring exhibition, visitors will get an inside, up-close look at what it takes to preserve all the king’s things.
• The newly expanded Lisa Marie: Growing Up Presley exhibit nearly doubled in size, further delving into the multifaceted life of Lisa Marie Presley as a loving mother, passionate musician, and guardian of her father’s legacy. The expansion takes you through Lisa Marie’s adult life with an extensive display of 45 outfits and other never-before-seen items.
• Fans have a last chance to see the Making of ELVIS Movie Exhibition that celebrates Baz Luhrmann’s 2022 hit film. The exhibition looks at the beginning of the creative process for the celebrated film and follows its journey to the big screen, including behind-the-scenes videos, handwritten notes, drafts of scripts, storyboards, props, set pieces, costumes and more. The exhibition is scheduled to close on September 4.
