“Good Permanent Exhibits, Often Excellent Visiting Exhibits”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 March 2012

Being on the University of Tennessee campus, parking can be "interesting" sometimes, so a Sunday afternoon visit is often the best. McClung Museum (no admission charge) has a number of permanent exhibits including, for example, "Archaeology & Native Peoples of Tennessee" and "Geology & Fossil History of Tennessee".

Small museum on UT Knoxvilles campus. They always have interesting exhibits. Well thought out and always well designed. Great for both kids and adults alike. The only problem is parking during the regular semester. You have to stop and get a parking permit (which is free) as you enter circle park. But I belive you can ask for a museum... More
