Even not, the story of how the collection came to be and the techniques of making the glass are interesting and well worth the visit.

I can't believe no one has reviewed this museum yet. My husband and I visited in fall of last year…read moreand had a wonderful time. I think he was hesitant because, you know, decorative stuffs, but our tour guide did such a great job covering the techniques and technologies of how some of the items were made as well as the larger world history that influenced various artistic styles that he ended up having a great time and asking tons of questions. Some of the standout pieces include yellow glass pitchers that use radioactive material to create the unique colors, a very cool collection of children's furniture, and lots and lots of amazing beer steins. So worth the time and the displays here change frequently, as Anna Houston's collection is so massive that most of it can't be on display at one time. Great afternoon and some place we would definitely visit again!

We've visited Chattanooga several times, but we realized we'd never been to the art museum. We fell…read morein love with the view of the water as soon as we walked in, and we hadn't even made it to the exhibits yet. We took our time in each gallery, reading and studying the art. It wasn't busy at all, so we had plenty of time and space to enjoy ourselves. Some of my favorites were the still life pieces. All in all, there was a good amount to see, and we'd recommend it as a relaxing afternoon activity for those who appreciate not only the art itself but the history of the pieces. We'd consider coming back again for any new exhibits next time we're in town.

I came here expecting just a store, but ended up experiencing a museum as well…read more The store itself is quite large, and for a cast-iron enthusiast like me, it felt like a kid in a candy shop. They have cast-iron pans in various sizes and shapes. Beyond that, what I really liked was that they also have everything needed for cast iron care, both during and after use. From dedicated brushes, scrapers, and all that jazz. The highlight was seeing the largest cast iron pan EVER. The museum was also informative and surprisingly engaging. It had interactive activities that helped better understand how cast-iron pans are made. The museum entry fee was just $5, which felt totally worth it. They also have free parking and a restaurant that offers breakfast and lunch, located behind the museum. I ended up spending a good hour exploring the museum and shopping for (maybe too many) pans and my favourite Dutch oven!

Lovely store! Right…read moreat the corner of Central and Main, Mostly French is a tiny little corner of France brought to TN. Think "mostly" French with touches of other countries' antiques, of various kinds. An interesting mix of (mostly) French "things" - from gifty cookbooks (with, ahem, a focus a la francais) and vintage postcards, placards and prints, to quite lovely (and sophisticated and genuine) items for the home (or to give as gifts): Waterford decanter and rocks sets, period pieces with details such as date and origin clearly provided (armchairs, end tables, curios and such) to . . . Nice (and talky) owners. They often visit places such as Scott Antique Market in Atlanta (if you're an antique shopper, you know and love Scott's) and have periodic forays abroad. They also have a fantastic smelling variety of small gift items like candles, and chinoiserie you won't find elsewhere in Chattanooga. If you're a fan of browsing or buying this type of thing, stop by - open every day except Sunday (oh, and right next to the Griffin Footlong Hotdog store that is supposed to be old school and worth a visit, too).
