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.
Here’s a beautiful story of how one mother turned her grief journey into a gathering of gratitude… and organ donation awareness.
Robb Coles highlights a special event organized by Cari Hollis – whose 26-year old son Austin died two years ago. Austin agreed to be an organ donor – and that single gesture saved multiple lives.
Cari reached out to as many recipients she could find – several of whom traveled to Nashville for an emotional celebration in Austin’s honor. One woman – whose life was saved by receiving Austin’s lungs – put it simply: “He’s my angel”.
