Frist Center - Egypt

The Frist Center for the Visual Arts is a glorious renovation of an Art Deco-era post office in Nashville, but it has no collections of its own. Marketing art in Middle Tennessee isn’t quite the same as doing so in Midtown Manhattan, so we toned down the curator-speak, turned the museum into an entertainment venue and treated each exhibit like a show. The result has been highly attended exhibits such as Egypt at the Frist, 2010’s Golden Age of Couture and The Birth of Impressionism – with the museum itself starring as one of only three venues in the world to host this Musee D’Orsay exhibit.
