This museum is great for Knoxville. It's not very big, but you'll spend 1-2 hours there…read more Story time: It was weird. When we arrived, the lady up front for our check-in asked how we had heard of them. I'm like... "Uh... It's art. We go where art is. We love art." I couldn't think of any other answer that fit the boxes she was checking. I love art, and that's where you can find me. It didn't fit any of her checkboxes, she waited a moment like she was waiting for me to say something else before saying, "Oh, that's a new reason we're going to have to add" or something like that. One of the usher girls understood what I was saying. No shame on the lady... it was just odd. I don't just hear about museums. I see if a city has one and I go. In my world, that's a 100,000 percent normal thing. I still laugh about it. You'll have fun here. If you've visited major art museums in Atlanta, Pittsburgh, Philly, Chicago, NY, or SF, you'll still have fun here, but it won't be the famous paintings you're looking for. If you're in Knoxville and have time to spare, I'd visit, but it's not an absolute must-do thing.

The art market was a rather fun place to stumble upon. It's not just an art gallery, but an actual art co op, so the people you are buying art from art actually the artists (so be careful what you say!). The people working here were super nice, and some of the art was gooorgeous. They not only have paintings, but lots of photography, sculptures (one artist seems to have a particularly odd penchant for vegetable steamers), jewelry, and clothing. The ceramics and jewelry were pretty reasonably priced. Some of the artwork was reasonable, and some both my husband and I both agreed was waaaay overpriced. I imagine since the artists determine the price for their own artwork. There was one painting which I'm now wishing I had bought. Maybe if we have a little extra money next month I'll call and see if it's still there. In any case, we did buy a ceramic vase, which we are now housing our lucky bamboo. Overall, I really liked this little art co cop, and I would gladly go back.

The museum tells the story of Oak Ridge's role in World War II and the top secret Manhattan Project. The way the museum is laid out tells the story in a chronological way where you'll begin by learning about how Oak Ridge came to be, its role in the war, and its role in nuclear research in the years since the hydrogen bomb was first dropped over Japan. Plan to spend about 2 hours here depending on how hands on you want to be. As you progress through the musuem it becomes more hands on and reminiscent of a children's museum where you can get hands on with science theories. The space has multiple exhibits, an introduction video, and gift shop. On certain days/times a bus tour is offered to the plant sites that will also include admission to the museum but I was not visiting on one of those days but would like to check it out if Im ever in the area on the right day.

You get to paint anything you like and then you get to sit be creative and chat with your friends! It's reasonably priced too! You just pay for the pottery and then go to town with as many colors you want! Then you pick up your beautiful piece in just a week! Only taking off a star because when I booked an event this week, and even though I had a confirmation email, it wasn't in there books.. and the staff isn't always the most helpful.. but other than a few small things.. a great place!

The lady was so helpful and sweet, If I had any questions she broke it down. Basically you go in and pick out what you want to paint, choose the colors and paint it. What ever item you choose to paint will be your price, I chose a jewelry box design and it was $26 and the prices will be at the bottom. But, u can't take it home until one week has past because they have to put it in the fire. I seen some of the finished products and they were gorgeous. I truly had fun and next time im bringing my son or a friend girl. The address is : 1645 Downtown West Blvd, Suite 35 ( not actually downtown ( for people who are not from Knoxville, I was about to head that way myself, its right off of Kingston Pike) Im new to Knoxville as well !!

The set up of the store was spectacular.... if you're creative or very in to art of any kind this place will definitely have what you need and it will not be difficult to navigate the store while browsing. I noticed sales as well; great value. The prices and sales are marked in a paper and on the items throughout the store. I enjoyed the atmosphere and I noticed the lighting was not harsh as I took a quick stroll around with my arms full. The staff was very knowledgeable about a variety of items I was looking for. Not once did I feel rushed or frustrated, or that the associates were annoyed with my questions; I was walked to every item I needed instead of pointed across the store. I Did not take a photo of the framing department but it was huge! 10/10 would recomend

It also overlooks the plant site itself if you want to appreciate the scale of everything. Admission is $10, and expect to spend one to one and a half hours here. I'm not sure how much appeal it has to younger kids as there's limited hands on interactive displays, and some of the topics they delve into are heavy, such as the role of African Americans and how they were still segregated at Oak Ridge. There's a small gift shop and bathroom facilities. ADA accessible. Do note that if you pay for a ticket here you get a discount when you buy admission tickets at the American Museum of Science and Energy the same day.
