Where is the Elvis statue in Memphis now?

[srj1967]

Where exactly is this statue in Memphis? I was there in '88, and it was outside.

Thanks.

The original Elvis statue in Memphis is at the Tennessee Welcome Center in the downtown area:

The statue is not the original one. It is the second statue to be made and is found right at the Welcome Center.

The original is in storage.

i thought the original was removed and then restored and placed in the Welcome Center, due to damage, etc.

What what I gather from my friend who used to work there. That statue that is there now is the second one. He remembers that they put the original in storage and had put up the second one.
