Frist Art Museum - 

The Frist is a wonderful museum - located in an older building, great Art Deco architecture - was the central post office, now the post office is located in the lower level. 




There were three great exhibits + introduction of lesser known artists as well as a hands-on "creative art area" for children and adults.

Most people will not know Eric Carle. Most people know Google. But, who is Eric Carle? 












Museum Floor:  



Museum WOODEN floor is made from logs cut vertically and laid in square sections rather than cut/sliced and placed horizontally as in a "normal" wooden floor. This process had to be costly and time consuming.
