The Parthenon’s exterior gets all the love. It’s part of Nashville’s iconic skyline, and the backdrop to a thousand Centennial Park photos. The inside is sometimes overshadowed, save for a trip to see the gilded Athena. But the Parthenon’s galleries should not be overlooked. They’ve mounted some of the most interesting shows of the year, including Emily Dorio and Karen Elson’s See You Me and the current The Role of a Replica. And that doesn’t even touch on the permanent collection of American art. Turns out the Parthenon’s not just for Percy Jackson fans.
