NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — The Nashville Parthenon is temporarily closing as Metro Parks begins a scheduled replacement of the building’s HVAC temperature control systems.
The museum, located in Centennial Park, will remain closed through late June 2026.
While the interior will be closed to visitors, guests can still enjoy the exterior of the Parthenon and access outdoor audio tours.
During the closure, the Cowan Collection will be on display at Cheekwood Estate & Gardens.
Metro Parks thanked the public for its patience as work is completed.

Our viewers are the best! When Hannah McDonald highlighted the plight of Serenity Sumler, so many of you immediately stepped up. Serenity stopped to help a driver after spotting a wreck and was hit by another car, resulting in terrible injuries. Without the funds to pay for physical therapy, she was at a loss. Because of the kindness of others - she now can rehab and get back to school. Best of luck to her as she trains to become a chef!
