Tennessee Time Tunnel

The new Tennessee State Museum takes a unique hybrid approach to telling our state’s story. The “Tennessee Time Tunnel” serves as the backbone, combining content-rich artifacts, exhibits and stories from our permanent collection with engaging media and thought-provoking interactives for a multi-layered experience.

Visitors can access to the permanent exhibition galleries through different entrances through the Time Tunnel where they will have the opportunity to experience a more in-depth look at that era of the state’s history.

The beginning of the Tennessee Time Tunnel.
