The buildings that make up the museum provide a good introduction to the diverse works inside--you'll find an early 20th century mansion, a modern building from the 1970s, and a sleek structure of steel-and-glass construction. Inside, you can discover paintings, sculptures, photos, mixed media, and decorative artwork from an assortment of artistic movements such as the Hudson River School, American Impressionism, early modernism, and regionalism. Watch for works from famed artists such as Andy Warhol, Thomas Cole, Childe Hassam, and Louise Nevelson. Plan trip to Chattanooga with our itinerary maker to find out where to go and what to do.

  Incredible experience. The museum is housed across 3 buildings, built in different decades to showcase 3 decades of architecture. In a way, the buildings themselves are an art piece. Not only does the museum have some beautiful art, but there are also participatory portions throughout encouraging you to engage with and process the art. Overall, would highly recommend a visit here.
