Art comes alive in the new featured exhibit, Framed: Step Into Art, set to fill the upstairs section of The Discovery Center at Murfree Spring in Murfreesboro beginning February 1 through May 11, 2025.
This immersive exhibit encourages children to ask questions and find answers through the exploration of art, and gain an understanding that everyone can have fun with art and appreciate it.
Experience art like never before as you immerse yourself in the world’s most beloved and iconic paintings.
Framed: Step Into Art Highlights

- Using spoken words to communicate meaning
- Understanding what is communicated by others
- Engage in discussions with peers
- Build and use increasingly more sophisticated vocabulary
- Drawing conclusions about discovery
