Parthenon in Nashville?

Yes, it's true! There is a reproduction of the Parthenon in Nashville, Tenn. Recently opened, it even has a reproduction of the statue to Athena. Thanks to Macie for showing us the photos in class of the revival of the greatest example of Greek architecture! Interestingly, the cost of admission is $5 for adults and $2.50 for students...I'm thinking field trip to Tennessee?

Notice that the columns are not straight...yes, you know why, don't you?
