The Parthenon, one of Nashville's oldest cultural institutions,
was built in 1897 to celebrate Tennessee's centennial. It is a full-scale
replica of the Parthenon in Athens, Greece from 438 B.C.E. (before common
era). Nashville's Parthenon includes a re-creation of the 5thcentury B.C.E.
Athena Parthenos sculpture. Athena stands almost 42 feet tall, the largest
piece of indoor sculpture in the Western world.
The Parthenon is located in Centennial Park, off West End
Avenue. For hours and admission fees please see the Parthenon website.
