Ever-changing Exhibitions at the Frist Art Museum

The Frist Art Museum is a non-collecting museum, meaning it does not have a permanent collection. Instead, the museum focuses on creating and hosting a variety of exhibitions, including traveling exhibitions from around the country and the world. This ensures a fresh and ever-changing experience for visitors, with new art to discover on each visit.

Interactive Art at the Frist Art Museum

The Frist Art Museum also features the Martin ArtQuest (MAQ), a permanent interactive gallery space. The MAQ includes a variety of stations such as drawing, painting, printmaking, and zoetrope, among others. It also features a shadow theater, a stop-motion animation tool, an interactive Everbright wall with color-changing dials, a collaborative textile-weaving installation, a full-body-animated digital painting experience, and a sound pattern station. This interactive space offers a unique and engaging experience for visitors of all ages.
