Tennessee State Museum

The 137,000 square foot Tennessee State Museum is designed to bring history to life. It includes a “Tennessee Time Tunnel” chronicling the state’s rich history and leading visitors through the museum’s permanent collection, a hands-on children’s gallery, six rotating galleries,  state-of-the-art digital learning center and a two-story Grand Hall. Exhibitions include significant artifacts related to the state’s history, along with displays of art, furniture, textiles, and photographs produced by Tennesseans. The Museum’s Civil War holdings of uniforms, battle flags and weapons are among the finest in the nation. Located in the heart of Nashville at the corner of Rosa Parks Boulevard and Jefferson Street, the new Museum sits at the foot of Capital Hill at Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park.

There is no admission charge for visitors.
