  1. The Tennessee State Museum is honored to present this exhibit in partnership with the Tennessee General Assembly Arts Caucus, Douglas Henry State Museum Commission, and Tennesseans for the Arts. This exhibit, open from March 17 to August 29, 2010, celebrates the treasures of the museum’s permanent collection. The museum offers extensive historical exhibits for the education and enjoyment of the public. Many exciting artifacts made and used by Tennesseans during the past are on display. These objects tell us about the struggles and achievements of our forebearers and inspire today’s Tennesseans. The Tennessee State Museum is a place where visitors can reflect on the past and plan new and brighter futures. In this exhibit, members of the Tennessee General Assembly Arts Caucus have selected artifacts from the permanent collection. They share thoughts on how their choices reflect enduring values of Tennesseans that have influenced the history of our state.
