McClung Museum of Natural History & Culture

Barber McMurry designed the McClung Museum of Natural History & Culture in a modernist style in Circle Park on the University of Tennessee campus. The Museum opened in 1961.

The McClung Museum houses art, historical objects, and objects of natural history — with an emphasis on anthropology and archaeology. Long-term exhibits include collections of fossils from East Tennessee, a diverse collection of freshwater pearl mussels in Tennessee, and The Decorative Experience, a collection of art from around the world. At the museum's entrance is a replica skeleton of Edmontosaurus annectens, nicknamed "Monty."

In the late 90s, Barber McMurry designed an exhibit of the history of indigenous cultures in Tennessee and the Southeast, called "Archaeology and the Native Peoples of Tennessee." In 2022, the space was reimagined as an exhibit highlighting the legal and ethical principles of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, and steps were taken to return cultural items to Native Nation partners.
