Hunter Museum of American Art

On the Grid : Hunter Museum

"With its striking combination of Brutalist and classic architecture, high ceilings, and copious natural light, the Hunter Museum itself is a work of art. It’s inspiring but not pretentious, which makes up two thirds of our qualifications for a world-class art museum. And, since the last qualifier is ace exhibits, the Hunter’s three for three. Need an even more relaxing experience? Check out the Hunter’s occasional yoga sessions on the bluff overlooking the river. It’s every bit as beautiful as it sounds." - Whiteboard

"American Art on the Tennessee River Chattanooga's Hunter Museum of American Art is set against a cliff overlooking the Tennessee River. If the view doesn't draw you in, it will be the collection of American art from Winslow Homer to Andy Warhol. The museum is made up of a historic mansion, pictured above, a modern 1970s structure and a sleek contemporary building that looks like at any moment it could plummet into the water. Admission is $10 for adults and $5 for children and free on the first Sunday of every month."
