Parthenon

Yes, that is indeed a reproduction Athenian Parthenon sitting in Centennial Park . Originally built in 1897 for Tennessee's Centennial Exposition and rebuilt in 1930 due to popular demand, the full-scale plaster copy of the 438 BC original now houses an art museum with a collection of American paintings and a 42ft statue of the Greek goddess Athena.
