Because the Frist has no permanent collection, its exhibitions can make each visit different. The former main post office gives the art a distinctive setting: its 1930s design reflects an era when nearby Union Station made rail mail central to downtown Nashville.
What to look for
Rotating exhibitions fill the galleries rather than a fixed permanent display.
Art Deco details recall the building’s life as Nashville’s main post office.
Martin ArtQuest provides an interactive art-making space.
