The Parthenon at Centennial Park in Nashville, Tennessee, is a full-scale replica of the original Greek Parthenon and a classic art museum. Constructed in 1897 for the Tennessee Centennial Exposition, the landmark has held cultural significance since. The structure includes a 42-foot gilded sculpture of Athena and a permanent exhibition of American paintings from the Cowan Collection along with temporary exhibitions.

The entrance to the museum is on the west side of the structure at ground level within the monument. While most of the museum is wheelchair accessible, access to certain spaces may be limited due to the age and historic nature of the building.

What are the highlights of the Parthenon at Centennial Park in Nashville?

While the statue of Athena is an exact Athens copy and the centrepiece of the museum, there are several other eye-catching exhibits at the Parthenon at Centennial Park. In the Treasury Room, there are more detailed replicas of Athens originals such as the plaster Parthenon Marbles.

On its lower level, the Parthenon houses 63 paintings by 19th- and 20th-century American artists in its permanent collection. During the summer, theatrical performances of Greek plays are given by local groups in front of the building, which are generally free. Additional performances are sometimes offered inside near Athena’s statue.
