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.

What drew me to the Hunter was the photo of the stunning architecture above the bluff on the…read moreTennessee River. What I found was a pretty decent collection of American art for a small city! ++. The HMAA is really 3 buildings in one : The main building is where the entrance and the gift shop are. It has exhibits and event space. In between the main building and the mansion is a long hallway with series of rooms filled with most of their permanent collection, works from the 20th century. The mansion seems to house earlier works from 18th and 19th centuries and a few from the 20th century . +. There were several pieces that grabbed my attention. Andrew Wyeth's striking The Lobsterman, 1937 from his first one man show. It was painted when he was only 20 years old. Willem de Kooning's Untitled 1969. First of his that didn't cause strong reaction. Edward Curtis' Canyon de Chelly was on exhibit. I was thrilled as it's rare to find Curtis' work in the South. Edward Ruscha's America, Her Best Product 1974-1975 struck me with current tariffs and policy changes. Perhaps so much yet not much has changed in the past 6 decades. James Cameron's View of Moccasin Bend, Chattanooga. It's the site of 12,000 years of continuous human habitation since the Paleo-Indian Period (10,000 BCE - 8,000 BCE), My favorite find was Victor De Grailly's Niagara Falls, c. 1850. It captured the view of the Falls from the American side overlooks Terrapin Point. In 1833, an observation tower was connected to a 300-foot-long wooden bridge to walk above the rushing water! So if you've been to Niagara Falls, you know THIS BRIDGE no longer exists! I soO wish it was still there :) +. The Hunter charges $20pp and $18pp for seniors, students, veterans and others. It's a bit steep for a collection worth apx. 1-2 hour visit. Though it's good to support this non-profit! ++. Service was friendly and informative by Tim? at the front desk. He shared with us that Chattanooga has deep Native American roots with the Cherokee and Trail of Tears while he showed us their 2nd floor balcony. =. Parking is a tiny (~20) private paid lot. It was full and we were lucky to find a street parking nearly. The HMAA owes its legacy to the original owner of the mansion, George Hunter of the Coke Bottling Company. This museum is worth a stop.

Scenery was a bit limited since everything is in full bloom, but I refuse to leave a bad review because nature was too healthy. The trees were simply thriving. Good for them.

If they ever add pillows, nobody is getting off at the final stop. Will absolutely bring the family back. Easy 10/10, highly recommend. Blessings

Now, the bad. Whoever does the lights and the pre-show music needs some serious training. The music before and during the shows sounded like a combination of Peruvian flutes, windchimes, discordant jazz, and whales mating. It was wretched. We were there to see two bluegrass bands, and this was not an appropriate warm-up. But it was the show lights that nearly did me in. I don't have epilepsy, but if I did, I certainly would've had a seizure by the constantly roving, circling, glaring lights that shined directly in my eyes during nearly every song. This was not The Who at Wembley Stadium. This is a very small, intimate venue that doesn't need such distractions. Unless it's a band or musician I absolutely must see, I doubt I'll be back.

The Tivoli as it is known by "we" locals is registered as a landmark with the national historical society, the design and layout is definitely "one of a kind." Acoustic quality is beyond compare. I certainly came to see one of my favourite Jazz saxophone player, Kenny G. His performance was nothing less than Amazing! The sounds were great and it carried well throughout the building. I sat up in the balcony area, note that it is straight up. Seats up in the balcony are great, from how the room is designed, there are no bad seats. As always, I really enjoyed my time here, and would go back to another concert, or show, or play here. As for Kenny G performance, if he ever comes back to the area, definitely not missing out on the concert.

Just a tip for the owners, they should really considering moving where they position the mic. It was far enough back so that the people at the top could see the comedian.

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.
