Last weekend, while in Nashville, Tennessee (look for the town in the upcoming "Where It's At" column in the October issue), I had the opportunity to visit the Cheekwood Botanical Garden & Museum of Art—a truly fantastic place for both lush gardens and top-notch art. What surprised me about the attraction wasn’t the 1932 mansion or its 100 acres of land, but rather what hung on the walls around us.

We got to catch “A Century on Paper,” prints, drawings and watercolors from the museum’s collection by renowned and lesser-known artists—some of which haven’t been exhibited in 20 years. And as for the well-known artists, think John Marin, Thomas Hart Benton, Georgia O’Keeffe, Robert Rauschenberg.

Below are some photos (of the gardens), but I definitely recommend seeing it for yourself if you’re going to be in the Nashville area before Sept. 21.
