Tennessee State Museum

Tennessee State Museum

Make sure you save time on your Nashville trip to stop at the Tennessee State Museum, one of the largest museums in the nation. Within this museum, you will find ample art, history, and culture as you explore exhibits throughout this three-floor, 120,000 square foot structure dedicated to the history of the state of Tennessee. The museum was created in 1937 by the general assembly, but traces of this museum go back to 1817 when a local painter created a life-size Andrew Jackson portrait for the people of the city. This portrait was seen in a local museum-like building in the Nashville public square in 1823 and can even still be seen within the museum today.
