Why You'll Love This Place

A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
  • The museum’s blend of modern and classic architecture is enhanced by its surrounding vistas. A premier spot, the historic mansion’s Grand Foyer has its own terrace and boasts 40-foot windows overlooking the Tennessee River.
  • You’ll enjoy sweeping rooftop panoramas and fabulous sunsets. The huge Riverview Terrace has bird’s-eye views of the water and museum property, while the intimate Paley Terrace spotlights the Walnut Street Bridge.
  • Make art part of your celebration. Whether it’s cocktails beside a signature sculpture or a private tour through The Galleries, let your guests mingle amidst the traditional and contemporary treasures housed here.
