We visited with my girlfriend's parents. The admission was $8 a piece and a total waste of money. The architecture of the museum itself was the most interesting part. The entire museum contained a total of 6-7 rooms with about 8-10 items each. Even reading the descriptions of all of the artifacts, the entire exhibit took a total of about... more

We went on a family day and the staff was great! I would make this a must visit next time I have the family in Nashville. more

I was excited to go the art museum to have my first cultural experience in Nashville. However, I was disappointed when I discovered there were only 2 exhibits, a Tiffany lamp exhibit, and an abstract art gallery.The upstairs is a kids play area with stations such as a video teaching kids about movement and form (they draw while watching different... more

Warning: Do not be fooled by the exterior of this truly beautiful building, or it's claim to be an art gallery. Inside you will find a giant gift shop that runs the length of the building, a huge cafe, and a gigantic auditorium; where if your lucky, you might find yourself being crooned by one of Nashville's many Kieth Urban... more

I like art galleries/museums, but don't love them. My sister-in-law was in town and wanted to get a little "culture", so we decided to go to the Frist Center. First, I will say that it was very easy to find, which is really helpful in an unfamiliar city (we're all from NY, and had just moved a few weeks before).... more

The Frist was great! I got a student discount with my college ID, and a basic adult rate. The Frist is an ART GALLERY, not a MUSEUM. They have three exhibits - two rotating, and the third is a hands on exhibit that is fun for kids and adults alone. The building is amazing. It used to be the city... more

Well done

Went to the Egyptian exhibit with 2 adults and 2 children (which were free). We could have spent all day in there if our feet would have let us! Not many places to sit down is my only complaint. Once you enter the exhibit area, you seemed to be "trapped" until you were done. I didn't see a restroom or... more

We were a little disappointed in this mainly because the kid's didn't allow us to see it all We bought the basic adult ticket (there was a special exhibit that cost much more). This ticket allowed us in the exhibit of pulitzer prize winning photos, which was too graphic for children They had an interactive family space but our kids... more

Went to the Egyptian exhibition. It was good but very short. Has an audio tape tour that tells you about the history of the artifacts. It's $17 which for what you get is a little too expensive. Not sure I would go again. more
