Discover the remarkable story behind one of Nashville’s greatest artistic treasures. An American Story invites visitors to experience the Cowan Collection as it has rarely been seen, outside its permanent home of the Parthenon for the first time in nearly 40 years.
Gifted to the city nearly a century ago by James M. Cowan, this extraordinary collection reveals how American artists at the turn of the twentieth century shaped a national artistic identity. Featuring works by fifty-seven painters, many linked through shared training and artistic collaboration, the collection traces a pivotal moment in American art history.
