Description
After three years of development, a new Tennessee State Museum will open in Nashville this October that replaces the previous museum housed at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center since 1981. Perspectives on the difficulties of the region’s native populations facing settler encroachment and the policies of Andrew Jackson have shifted dramatically in recent decades. Learn how exhibit curators considered the museum’s audiences and incorporated contemporary scholarship and Indian stakeholder feedback to create an interpretation that includes multiple voices of this crucial period in Tennessee history.
