Country Music's Past, Present & Future - 4/19/06
Housing nearly 750,000 historical artifacts throughout 130,000 square feet, the Country Music Hall of Fame is a shrine to the long and varied history of country music and how it has come to be what it is today. And even if the thought of exploring the glory years of country music doesn't excite you, browsing through a collection of items as diverse as colorful rhinestone suits, customized cars, a limited-time Ray Charles exhibit, as well as well thought out architecture is sure to make the Country Music Hall of Fame an interesting journey for all in Nashville.

A History of Music at the Country Music Hall of Fame & Museum - April 19, 2006
I felt like I could have spent an entire day exploring, reading, and seeing the history of the music that I love. Anybody who appreciates music of any genre will likely find that there is plenty to do, see, and learn inside this remarkable structure.

I like all kinds of music but am not real familiar with country singers etc. I am a huge Elvis fan. We totally enjoyed the museum and it was interesting how much we learned

-Gary Klop, Sault Ste Marie, MI
Lots of information, but I didn't have enough time to do everything, because I had so much planned. I want to return to listen to tour again and take better photos.

-Judy Smith, Burlington, ON
Fabulous. Spent about six hours there. Wonderful exhibits with first class audio visual archives. Every major C/W star past and present was showcased. DO NOT MISS THIS. It's a must see.
