The correct answer is Parthenon
So why is this answer correct? : The Tennessee Centennial Exposition was a six-month-long celebration of Tennessee’s 100th anniversary of statehood. The fair was held in Nashville, which was known as the “Athens of the South” due to its emphasis on higher education. The state marked the historic event with construction of an exact replica of Greece’s Parthenon, complete with replicas of the Elgin marbles. The replica also served as the fair’s Fine Arts Building, housing a total of 1,175 art objects.
