Frist Art Museum

Today is our birthday! We've loved spending the last 25 years with you!

Since the start of the year, we’ve been celebrating and reflecting upon the amazing memories we created with you over a quarter century. We cherish the relationships we’ve developed with you, and it is your support and presence that will propel us forward for the next twenty-five years and beyond! Enjoy this short video from our recent Frist Arts Fest birthday bash mixed with some scenes from our big opening day on April 8, 2001!
