If you're in the city and enjoy art then why not stop here. Enjoy the views of the river and fine art as well. The head over the walking bridge or over to the river bluffs area for a coffee, lunch or dinner, overlooking the river. Very nice. more

Great location. Interesting buildings. Average or below average art collection. The museum is on the bluff overlooking the river right next to the Walnut Street Bridge. Great view of the city.

The Hunter Museum looks like a train wreck of three different buildings with no comparison to each other, creating a visual effect that will take you a while to get used to. It was as if the builders started with one idea, changed their minds halfway through, then before they were quite done they had another idea and decided to... more

Perched on an 80-foot bluff on the edge of the Tennessee River, the Hunter Museum of American Art offers a stunning view of the river and the surrounding mountains. This panorama is equaled only by the exceptional collection of American art inside the building. The collection features fine art from the Colonial period through the present, and also has a... more
