Frist Center for the Visual Arts is located in Nashville, Tennessee. The center is built in the 1930s Central Post Office. A fantastic beaux arts structure, well converted into modern art museum. There is a nice write up
here.
We saw an excellent set of exhibitions including Michelangelo drawings, Islamic art from the Museum of Art in Boston and modern art from
Shinique Smith, an artist from NYC I had not previously heard of. She does very interesting work with fabric and paint -- exciting.

| This is the original lobby, where the public bought stamps. The aluminium frieze work is very interesting. |
 |
| The upper stairs are an addition in the renovation -- nicely done. |
