Imitation is the best form of flattery – the Parthenon replica in Tennessee
Nashville signature Athens of the South shaped the selection of the building as the showpiece of 1897 scholarship. A number of buildings at the exposition were based on ancient archetypes. But Parthenon was the only one who was regarded as an exact replica and was the only was preserved by the city.
At this time, the Parthenon into a museum. It is the centerpiece of a large park of the Centennial Park and is just west from downtown Nashville located. Alan LeQuire of 1990 re-creation of the Athena Parthenos statue is the center of the Parthenon just as it was in ancient Greece. The building is a complete replica of the Athenian novel, and the statue of Athena Parthenos in the renovation of a lost original and is designed for careful scientific standards: it is dressed and helmeted, has a shield on her left arm and a small statue of Victory in her right palm, and is 42 meters high. The entire statute is made of more than eight pounds of gold leaf; rises as a huge snake on his head between her and her shield. Since the building is completely and polychrome decoration were as close to the assumed unique as possible, the is debatably a better symbol of what the Athenians would have seen.
This duplication of the Parthenon in Athens sufficient unique monument to what is considered the pinnacle of classical architecture. The plaster casts of the Parthenon Marbles found in the Naos are direct casts of the original images, the facades of the Athenian Parthenon decorated, dating from 438 BC. The originals of these remains are housed in the British Museum in London.
As an art museum, continuing compilation of The Parthenon is a group of 63 paintings by 19th and 20th century American artists presented by James M. Cowan. Additional locations gallery afford a site for a range temporary exhibitions and expositions.
During the summer, the building is used as background for the local theater productions in which the Greek games as Euripides 'Medea and Sophocles' Antigone, his shot on the steps of the Parthenon. Other public presentation, such as Mary Zimmerman's Metamorphoses, inside was filmed at the foot of the statue of Athena.

What is the Grand Ole Opry building worth in money value?
If you mean the building in Glasgow than a few million I would say. Beautiful building, but the surroundings are not too good!
