The Parthenon replica in Centennial Park

The Parthenon in Nashville is a full-scale replica of the original Parthenon in Athens, built for the Tennessee Centennial Exposition in 1897. It houses the Nashville Parthenon Art Museum and a 42-foot statue of Athena sculpted by Alan LeQuire and installed in 1990. The building serves as a notable example of civic neoclassical architecture and remains a central landmark in Centennial Park. The site is used for exhibitions, concerts, and public events.
