A must-visit in Nashville! This life-size replica of the Parthenon (only one in the world) is a truly magnificent place to visit. The structure lies within Centennial Park, which in and of itself is a nice place to walk (also very close to the Vanderbilt campus). The building doubles as an art museum (ticket prices and hours in my photos, with there being an unlisted student discount for $5 with valid ID) and it is definitely worth the money! The museum covers the history of both the Greek and Nashville Parthenon, and there is a spectacular gallery of paintings and Greek-inspired art. The second floor features a massive 40+ foot tall statue of Athena (the real Parthenon also had a statue of the same height) and casts of the figures that adorn the exterior of the Parthenon. Overall, a great place and I definitely recommend visiting!

Really nice park with lots of events on the go. The Parthenon is a cool experience and is bigger than expected. The park also hosts various other displays such as aircraft and trains. The park is very close to downtown therefore is an easy stop off for a picnic or sightseeing. Ample parking around the park even with a college football game going on close by. 

Glad I stopped by to see it during my short stay in Nashville.

The building is definitely impressive considering it is an exact replica of the original Parthenon in Greece.  As a curiosity it will certainly draw you. The cost is reasonable at $6.00 and the statute of Athena is impressive to look at as your imagination can take you back to 456 BC,  you imagine seeing it for the first time. They also have a collection of are work that is good. The variety is decent. Plan on at least 1 to 2 hours depending on your pace of course.  If you have ever wondered the the Parthenon looks like, then this is something you will not want to miss!  The information on the Parthenon itself is pretty informative as well as the history of the replica.

This replica of real Parthenon in Greece is impressive from outside. The exhibit inside was definitely worth $6.00. The park all around is wonderful but little chilly in December month. I can imagine, this must be very beautiful in spring and summer! Must visit if you are in Nashville.

I enjoyed touring this monument. I had been here I my college days but hadn't remembered the huge Athena statue. Then I found it hadn't been installed until the late 80s/1990. That explained it! It wasn't there the first time I visited. The signage is helpful and interesting. They close early at 4:30 pm and I for there at 4:00 so I didn't have as much time as I would have liked.  I skimmed the displays in the hallways quickly so I could take more time on the upper floor.  

I was disappointed that pictures were not allowed on the lower floor so I couldn't photo some of the displays to view in more detail when I returned home.
