3 Best Museums in Nashville, TN

Love this place!!! Different from other museums I have been too. The staff is super friendly and helpful. And free to get in and explore. They do have a donation box if you want to donate...I did. They also have a gift shop. A kids area for those with small children and handicap accessible restrooms. They have both stairs and elevators for anyone who is able to walk and for handicap.

This is was a last minute stop on a trip before the airport and it was an excellent use of time. Enjoyed learning about history of the state. Many exhibits and short movies Next-door to farmers market and food court as well as a beautiful park.

Great place to learn a lot about TN's history. Brought my 5th grader and he loved it. Plus it's totally free! Can't beat that these days!

As a first-time visitor, the Country Music Hall of Fame absolutely blew me away. I spent a full three hours inside and honestly could’ve stayed longer. The exhibits are incredibly well done—part history lesson, part emotional journey—with everything from legendary artifacts and handwritten lyrics to immersive stories about the artists and the evolution of country music. Even if you’re only a casual fan, the way it’s presented pulls you in and makes you appreciate the genre on a whole new level. It’s not just a museum, it’s an experience. If you’re in Nashville, this is a must-do and worth every minute you give it.

Super cool place to follow the creation of country music, from the early days to today. I grew up on things like Hee-Haw and 80's country, so it was great to see all the memories! There were dozens of early singers that I'd never heard of, and learned a lot about who contributed to the music along the way. Cool cars (Elvis' limo, Smokey and the Bandit T/A!) and more boots/hats/outfits than you handle. Very similar layout to most museums, just walk at your own pace and soak it in. Highly recommend.

First trip to Nashville so ofc I had to visit the CMHOF and the Studio B add on. Such a wonderful experiance! We did the third floor first then the Studio B tour before finishing with the second floor. Dolly Parton exhibit, Taylor Swift Education Center, and Elvis' car were all so cool to explore! My favorite part was the Studio B tour and seeing where Elvis stood and recorded his music. Beth was an amazing tour guide, very knowledgeable and funny!
