What are the highlights of the Frist Art Museum in Nashville?

Educational programmes that reach out to the community for the purpose of learning together are regular events at the Frist Art Museum. American art deco and medieval styles are prominently featured, with as many engaging and informative activities as possible that relate to the world and history of art.

The museum is non-collecting, meaning it commonly changes out its exhibitions as it has no permanent collections aside from the interactive space of Martin ArtQuest. When you’re ready to take home something that catches your eye, there’s a gift shop selling beautiful handmade crafts and a variety of other appealing, souvenir-type items.
