Knoxville Museum of Art
The Knoxville Museum of Art, with its two side courtyards, stands on a bluff overlooking the 1982 World’s Fair site. The public entrance is above; the service entrance is at the bottom of the bluff. Clad with local Tennessee marble, the plan of this city’s first art museum creates zones with quiet, serene and naturally lit gallery spaces above, and a multi-functional community center, with museum shop, auditorium, and restaurant below.
