Frist Art Museum
An art museum in a former 1934 General Post Office in the Art Deco style. It is known for high-quality rotating special exhibitions.
The Frist Art Museum is on the western stretch of Broadway. The building was completed in 1934 as a United States Post Office, and its marble and aluminum Art Deco lobby is worth seeing on its own. The museum has no permanent collection. Instead, it presents rotating special exhibitions throughout the year, featuring works from museums around the world, from classical masters to contemporary design. The Martin Art Discovery Center offers interactive art activities for children. Admission is about US$20, and visitors under 18 enter free. The Union Station Hotel is right next door.
