Now located in the heart of downtown Nashville, this popular attraction originally opened on the city’s famed Music Row back in 1967. That site closed in the year 2000, and the following year, the new $37 million downtown facility was unveiled. The new museum houses more than two million artifacts, and a recent expansion has given it even more space for its gallery collection and archival materials. The museum serves to preserve the history of country music while educating visitors on its rich history. There are a variety of exhibits and collections that tell the story of this musical genre.
