Nashville Parthenon - only full-scale replica of the original Parthenon

The Parthenon in Centennial Park is a full-scale replica of the ancient Parthenon in Athens and is widely cited in museum and tourism sources as the world's only full-scale replica of the original temple. It was constructed for the 1897 Tennessee Centennial Exposition as a temporary structure and later rebuilt in permanent materials to serve as a civic art museum. The building houses a museum of American art and the 42-foot Athena Parthenos statue completed in 1990.
