Hunter Musum of American Art, Chattanooga, Tennessee

The Hunter Museum of American Art is perched dramaticically atop a bluff 80-feet high, overlooking the Tennessee River. It is housed in a large old red brick mansion with white columns - adjoined by a new ultra-modern $19.5 million expansion. The museum houses one of the nation's finest collections of American art. However, to me the building itself is an equally interesting attraction, with the glass walls of the lobby offering spectacular views of the River.

In the museum there is also a new cafe, museum store, and auditorium.
