Nashville's Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum

Nashville's Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum is placed in downtown Nashville, but a couple streets from the honky-tonks of Broadway and the "mother church" of country music, the Ryman Auditorium.

This modern $37 million position was opened in 2001, and the important look of this unique museum animates the skyline in Nashville's central entertainment area.

The Museum has an incredibly huge collection to immortalize country music's chronciles, and inside, the crown jewels of the aggregation are displayed, picturing the account of country & western crossing over 100 years.

You'll find collections of authoritative taped music, uncommon television film, changing presentations, live musical events and other public performances, live broadcasts, along with, not to mention dining at SoBro Grill & Catering and shopping at the Museum Store.

Discovering the demonstrations of the Hall educates and energizes C&W music fans of all ages and experiences, from the youngest C&W music buffs to those who've loved C&W music for many a year.

As you enter the display areas, you'll see the procession of C&W music setting out in the farms and bars of the south, all the way to the Grand Ole Opry and the smash hits of our country music sensations today.

The Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum is self-directed, so you can see it at your own rate - folks commonly take 2-3 hours.  The Museum supplies an Audio Tour (70 minutes), recited by Eddie Stubbs (WSM Radio & Grand Ole Opry broadcaster), along with parts recited by Dolly Parton, Vince Gill, and Trisha Yearwood.

The Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum shows "Sing Me Back Home" as a lasting display requiring two total floors of the location, an exciting journey through the story of country music.

Using original recordings, artifacts, photos and TV footage, and interactive touchscreen panels, Sing Me Back Home steeps visitors in the sound and history of C&W music, and the lives and voices of its beloved stars.

As the "Sing Me Back Home" tour comes to the finish, you'll go in the Hall of Fame Rotunda, another lasting presentation.  This is the sanctified location where Country Music Hall of Fame® members are respected with bronze plaques accrediting their initiation into the Hall of Fame.

A visit to the Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum is an necessary component of any Nashville vacation. You'll experience it is both instructive and fun. And with the admiration of the history of Nashville's music you'll gain a finer discernment of Nashville.
