The Nashville Parthenon is located in Centennial Park and also serves as a museum.
Inside the Parthenon is a statue of Athena consisting of at least 8 pounds of gold. Also in this unique museum is a permanent collection of paintings by 19th and 20th century artists which was donated.
On the outskirts of the park are beautiful plains of grass to have a picnic and relaxing swings amid the sparsely placed trees.
