    What To Expect

    The Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum is the home for this popular American art form, safeguarding over 2.5 million artifacts, and featuring two expansive floors of gallery space, highlighting permanent and limited-engagement exhibitions.

    Touring the two floors of the Museum’s gallery spaces, guests follow the evolution of country music, within the context of American history.

    Visitors experience that evolution through a diverse mix of displayed artifacts, video footage, and carefully selected sound recordings. Biographical panels and audio tours tell the stories of those who have shaped the music, from Jimmie Rodgers to Hank Williams, through Johnny Cash and Dolly Parton, to Garth Brooks and Reba McEntire, and beyond.

    Many artifacts from today’s groundbreaking artists such as Taylor Swift, Luke Bryan, Carrie Underwood, and Keith Urban are on display in the contemporary gallery space. Visitors of all ages can discover connections between country music’s past and artists of today, and have the chance to engage with interactive stations. Highlights include recording and songwriting areas, a forty-foot guitar, music trivia, and more.

    The museum offers amazing tour experiences and opportunities to play an instrument, enjoy an archived film, or hear live music from country legends and renowned songwriters, with over 250 programs and activities each year.

    Four unique shops—The Museum Store, Circa, Hatch Show Print, and the Haley Gallery—located on the property offer a great selection of books and music, museum souvenirs, original artwork, locally-made gifts, and country lifestyle apparel. Also, be sure to grab a bite to eat at one of our three restaurants—2|22, Red Onion, and Bajo Sexto Taco.

    Great place to visit to learn about country music

    kelly_n, Mar 2026
    Lots to look at and lots to learn. Interactive displays and videos to watch. Spent 2 hours on our own thru museum. People were very friendly and helpful. Bathrooms on all floors and be sure to visit the gift shop and watch for deals. Outside they have schools come and perform in the little nook area which is pretty neat for local schools to be recognized. Easy in and out of museum. A win win for a nice tour of history.

    Visit Cut Short

    Cheryl_P, Mar 2026
    The museum was staged very well acoustically. Things were arranged in time order. The continously running tv snippets were fun. Unfortunately, family problems caused us to leave after a short time.

    Wonderful experience....

    Savita_S, Mar 2026

    Tour for the Ryman

    Marty_W, Mar 2026
    They shouldn’t charge 2 separate charges for visiting the ryman and then another charge for going backstage and seeing the dressing rooms it should just be one charge it’s not worth it

    Steve_S, Dec 2025
    It couldn’t have been any easier. We walked up to information booth with voucher and was immediately granted access to the museum with our tickets given to us at booth. We went early(9:30 am) no problem. When we got out, it was packed. Having vouchers saves time in ticket line.
