Located next to the Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park at the foot of Capitol Hill, the Tennessee State Museum is devoted to depicting the history of the U.S. state of Tennessee. Founded in 2018, the 137,000-square-foot building includes a two-story Grand Hall, six rotating galleries, a hands-on children's gallery, a digital learning center, and a state-of-the-art tunnel known as the Tennessee Time Tunnel that chronicles the state's history by leading visitors through the museum's permanent collection. Exhibitions include Civil War holdings and memorabilia such as weapons, battle flags and uniforms; historical works of art, furniture, and textiles, and a wealth of photographs.
