I’ve been there! I recommend visiting if you’re ever in Nashville. The statue of Athena is pretty awe-inspiring in person.

I once visited with a friend who was a super nerd for all things Greek. He asked the docent where the (I may be misremembering the name) Pan-Athenian Procession was on the frieze. The docent was impressed, telling him it’s the only part missing from the original. My friend scoffed and said, “More like Sub-Parthenon.” I still laugh about it 15 years later.
