The amazing Crystal Shine Grotto in Memphis, at the Memorial Park Cemetery, is a wonderful place to visit. The sculpture is located near a duck pond, and contains carved benches, sculptures, and a grotto you can walk through to see different scenes from biblical times. The office sells food for the ducks.
There are several plaques throughout the grotto that provide information on this enormous sculpture.

Walk through the Crystal Shine Grotto.
Everywhere you look in Memphis, you'll find awesome public art like murals, sculptures, and interactive exhibits. Perhaps the quirkiest example, though, is the Crystal Shrine Grotto, located at Memorial Park Cemetery. This whimsical site is an entirely man made cave, filled with quartz crystals and unique sculptures depicting religious symbols and the life of Christ. Be sure to sign and read the guestbook to see how this Grotto, created by a Mexican artist over a period of nearly 50 years, has become a worldwide attraction.
