The Parthenon

One of my favorite stops on our trip to Nashville. Easy to find, free parking and lots of open green space. We were is amazement with the size and had no idea there was an art gallery and exhibit inside.. a small $6 per person fee is more than worth it to get in and see all inside. 1st floor art gallery where photo taking is prohibited.. beautiful art you simply need to see in person. After about an hour at/in the Parthenon we got some delicious Italian lemonade from a street vendor and then had a picnic in the park

I've visited the Parthenon 2 times. Is it the best thing ever? Well, no, but it's just one of those places that people should visit at least once when they're in Nashville. I love looking at the artwork inside. Such beautiful paintings. We spent about 45 minutes inside looking at everything. Admission is 6 bucks. A very reasonable price. (If you don't particularly like artwork, but need to kill an hour or get out of the rain, go here.)

The Parthenon is a great way to spend an evening or a weekend day. Inside the Parthenon is a really cool museum with history of Nashville and centennial park as well as regular art and sculptures. It’s called off by a huge gold covered statue of Athena. Outside the Parthenon is centennial park which is huge and beautiful. There are running paths, sitting areas, a lake, and plenty of space for fun and activities.

This was actually my favorite attraction in Nashville that didn't include music itself. The statue of Athena is awe inspiring, and there's a lot of interesting information available on the boards surrounding it. There is a small gallery of American art downstairs, and a small gift shop. Downstairs also includes a museum with artifacts and information having to do with the Parthenon itself. All in all a really cool spot, particularly for a fanatic of ancient Greek culture who has not yet made it to Greece itself (myself).

I have no been inside, but I highly recommend this as a place to see. Perfect for a date, a picnic, a walk, etc.. There is a large field next to it for games, sunbathing, frisbee, fetch, a picnic, etc.. If you are visiting Nashville I highly recommend this as a stop on your trip. It’s fun and really cool for all ages. And it’s free as long as you don’t go inside. There is also a large pond that you can walk around that is nice. Perfect place to hang a hammock. My photos below do not do it justice but simply show some less common angles of it.
