Centennial Park Parthenon replica and public park

Centennial Park features a full-scale replica of the Parthenon first constructed for the Tennessee Centennial Exposition in 1897; the structure now functions as an art museum and contains a re-creation of the Athena Parthenos statue. The park and Parthenon are commonly used by Nashville residents for picnics, walking, and community events, serving as a major urban green space near Midtown. The site combines historical architecture with everyday local recreation.
