Adventures in Tennessee History with Jeff Sellers, Director of Education at the TN State Museum (Adult Series) A Universe of Stories

    • Education

Today we're talking with Jeff Sellers, Director of Education at the TN State Museum. We'll learn about the museum's new state-of-the-art facility on the Bicentennial Mall in downtown Nashville and what it was like to "move houses" with 150,000 historical artifacts. Even if you've spent time in the former museum building, there is so much more to explore as artifacts that had never been on display are brought out of the shadows. Among the museum's collections are objects such as: a 550 year old slipper woven out of plant fiber, the beaver skin top hat that Andrew Jackson wore for his inauguration, and the original neon sign for Ernest Tubb's Record Shop. Entry to the museum is always free. For more information, visit www.tnmuseum.org.
