Best Tennessee History Art Exhibition

“People of the World” (1979), by Lillian Beattie

This fantastic display of quilts opened back in February — it was the very first new exhibition at the Tennessee State Museum following the October 2018 grand opening at its new location. Between the Layers was an eye-catching display of backing, batting and binding. It also offered a unique and refreshing blend of craft, art and histories — personal, local and statewide. Here’s hoping the new location continues to empower and inspire the museum’s staff to realize their mission with this much style, energy and imagination. JOE NOLAN
