I was excited to go the art museum to have my first cultural experience in Nashville. However, I was disappointed when I discovered there were only 2 exhibits, a Tiffany lamp exhibit, and an abstract art gallery.The upstairs is a kids play area with stations such as a video teaching kids about movement and form (they draw while watching different... more

Warning: Do not be fooled by the exterior of this truly beautiful building, or it's claim to be an art gallery. Inside you will find a giant gift shop that runs the length of the building, a huge cafe, and a gigantic auditorium; where if your lucky, you might find yourself being crooned by one of Nashville's many Kieth Urban... more

I like art galleries/museums, but don't love them. My sister-in-law was in town and wanted to get a little "culture", so we decided to go to the Frist Center.

We were a little disappointed in this mainly because the kid's didn't allow us to see it all We bought the basic adult ticket (there was a special exhibit that cost much more). This ticket allowed us in the exhibit of pulitzer prize winning photos, which was too graphic for children They had an interactive family space but our kids... more

Went to the Egyptian exhibition. It was good but very short. Has an audio tape tour that tells you about the history of the artifacts. It's $17 which for what you get is a little too expensive. Not sure I would go again. more
