The Parthenon at Centennial Park in Nashville

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.
