Athena Statue, Tennessee, United States

Incredible statue and one of a kind experience.
We were in Nashville for a work conference. On our last day in town, we had time to go to see the Parthenon. That was exciting in itself, but I had no idea we would encounter such a beautiful sight inside of the statue of Athena. She stand over 42 feet tall in her own large room. the top of her head nearly touches the beautiful skylights above. She stands on a 8 foot tall platform making the view even more impressive. For a height comparison, she is holding a 6 foot tall statue of Nike in the palm of her hand. There is room in front of her to hold at least 200 people to observe. You can also walk all the way around her to view the ornate shield she is holding and read the informative signs of the history and the myth. It is an amazing experience and this alone is worth the $10 admission to get in. Very highly recommended, a don't miss it experience.

Amazing Recreation
I didn't even know about this Parthenan from Trip Advisor (Things to Do) until my friend suggested it. It was amazing from the outside, but if you paid to get in (recommended) there was an art exhibit (modern and classical) and then the Athena Statue. On the upper level you could see a demonstration of how they reproduced the images and how they restore them. Highly recommened.

The statue itself is amazing. Benches in the space so you can sit and take her in. Kids brochure is informative and tell kids things to look for when looking at the statue. A guide is there to answer any questions. Plus there are posters around the room giving more historical & factual information. Well worth a visit. This is also an art museum so the ten dollar admission fee also covers that visit too.
