FEATURED EXHIBIT
Celebrating the enduring legacy of the Fisk Jubilee Singers—a vocal ensemble that helped introduce African American spirituals to the world.
The T.D. Boyd Changing Gallery (Feature Gallery) is our largest temporary exhibition space, spanning 2,500 square feet and designed to host immersive, large-scale installations. Nearby, the Lobby Wall Cases—four vertical glass displays—feature curated series such as Living Legends and Roots Uncovered, offering focused looks at individual artists and themes. Our Donation Corner presents newly acquired artifacts in a 10-foot glass enclosure, giving visitors a glimpse into the museum’s growing collection.
We also curate exhibitions beyond our walls. At the Westin Hotel Nashville lobby, our newest offsite installation opened on April 19, 2025. This display promotes NMAAM’s mission and highlights our acquisition partnership with Vanderbilt University. The exhibition centers on items from the Dom Flemons collection, exploring the legacy of Black country and cowboy music, and features exclusive interpretive content provided by Flemons himself.
These evolving spaces allow us to present a rich, ever-changing experience—both inside the museum and throughout the community.
