Frist Art Museum

The old post office now sends ideas instead of parcels. The Frist Art Museum occupies Nashville's 1930s Art Deco federal building and presents changing exhibitions rather than a permanent collection, so the room can keep making different arguments about art.That rotation is the point of this stop. After several institutions devoted to musical memory, the Frist lets a temporary exhibition interrupt the city's most familiar story—while the marble, metalwork, and civic scale of the former post office remind you that public buildings also teach people what culture is for.Current public hours are Monday 10–5:30; Tuesday and Wednesday closed; Thursday 10–8; Friday and Saturday 10–5:30; Sunday 1–5:30. Admission is ticketed. Exhibitions, holiday hours, and parking availability change, so consult the official visit page before arrival. More
