Guide to Art History: Nashville
While Nashville is known for country music, I was surprised to find the size of it's art scene. As with almost any other city or community, Nashville has well-known art attractions and some that can be very easily overlooked.
1. The Frist Art Museum
The Frist Art Museum is probably Nashville's most popular art destination, an Nashville prides itself on the Frist. This building has a very rich history. The Frist Art Museum is an Art-Deco building with a very rich interior. Housed in the former post-office, the building was originally built in 1933 under the architecture firm Marr and Holman. The Frist Art Museum brings together classicism and Art-Deco styles under one roof. As for the art inside, it holds just as high acclaim. While this museum sadly does not have a permeant collection, the visiting exhibitions are always some of the best.
*Note: if you art looking to make a day of it, this is my suggestion:*
If you are looking to make a day of your visit, then I suggest you have a meal around 5th Avenue and visit all of these galleries. Read on to understand these smaller and underappreciated galleries.
