The Parthenon

If you have never been to The Parthenon in Nashville, then I would definitely consider checking out this amazing and entertaining tourist attraction right in the heart of Centennial Park in Nashville. The building is a full scale replica of the Parthenon in Athens Greece. The giant gold statue of Athena in the second level is extremely impressive and quite a marvel to set eyes upon. The bottom floor of the building has an impressive art gallery collection. They have ancient sculptures throughout the building as well that are really neat historical artifacts. This is one of the coolest tourist attractions that I have ever been to. Highly recommend.

This is such a cool experience. There is such much history to read inside, about the building/local history, the original Parthenon, and even local art inside. We went on a Saturday around 11 30am and on a cold day and it wasn’t too full. No wait to get in. When we left around 1 30 it was pretty packed. The coolest part is we got to the Nashville traveling Opera perform inside. We didn’t even know they were on tour that day and it was free. Yay. Had an amazing time.

This is a magnificent full sized reconstruction of the Parthenon. There is an art exhibit inside, as well as the history of the building. Well worth a stop. It is surrounded by a park. Parking was easy. It takes about an hour to see everything.
