Frist Center

The Frist Center for the Visual Arts is one of the crown jewels of Nashville's cultural scene.

It features a changing scheduled of high-profile shows of visual arts. In the fall of 2008, for example, the Frist featured an exhibition entitled Rodin: A Magnificent Obsession , Sculpture from the Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Foundation.

The museum is housed in a grand Depression-era building in downtown Nashville that served for many years as the city's main post office and was created largely through gifts from the Frist Foundation, which was set up by the Frist Family, founders of HCA, one of Nashville's top corporations and one of the biggest hospital companies in the world. The museum does not have a permanent collection, choosing instead to exhibit traveling shows.
