Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum

Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, 222 Rep. John Lewis Way S., celebrates the origins and heritage of country music. Look closely as you approach the striking edifice and you'll spot a 1950s Cadillac fin (the arch on the structure's right side) and black piano keys (the tall, slim windows along the front).

Once indoors, you'll discover film and audio clips, interactive displays and trivia games, glittery costumes worn by Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift, and well-traveled instruments that bring history to life in the museum's permanent exhibits. Inside a replica tour bus you'll be able to record your own country track to send to friends and family. The Hall of Fame Rotunda features plaques honoring Country Music Hall of Fame members.

The 1879 print shop, Hatch Show Print, offers guided tours and interactive workshops inside one of the country's oldest working letterpress print shops that continues the handmade tradition of creating posters for artists. Temporary exhibitions, performances and events, songwriting and instrument demonstrations, celebrity audio tours and bus tours to Music Row's Historic RCA Studio B are offered.

Guided tours are available. Food is available. Time: Allow 1 hour, 30 minutes minimum.
