Ryman Auditorium Self-Guided Tours
The Ryman Auditorium Exterior
This is a great look at The Ryman Auditorium at night. With the exterior lit up, it is a beautiful sight to see.
Explore the coveted halls of the Ryman Auditorium when you enjoy a self-guided tour that concludes as you share the stage with the legacy of the legends who performed here. This is your chance to feel the history of the Ryman Auditorium, home to the Grand Ole Opry for more than thirty years. You'll start by sitting in the original pews and viewing a short film presentation narrated by Trisha Yearwood. "If These Walls Could Talk" will take you from the beginning of the Ryman's history through to today. After the film, you can head down to the legendary stage to stand underneath the lights and have a photo taken "singing" in front of the Grand Ole Opry audience! Then you'll be able to explore the fascinating memorabilia housed in exhibit-style cases along the back wall underneath the beautiful stained glass windows. Memorabilia includes everything from Marty Robbins' jacket to Minnie Pearl's famous hat, and also features items from the Ryman's earlier years prior to the Grand Ole Opry. You'll then be able to head upstairs for a view of the stage from the balcony, and be sure to make your way out into the balcony hallway to explore the photos, artifacts, and other items housed upstairs. Photos are welcome inside the Ryman, so be sure to bring along a camera! This is your chance to tour one of Nashville's favorites, the National Historic Landmark often called "The Mother Church of Country Music". About the Ryman Auditorium Backstage Guided Tour The Backstage Guided Tour of the Ryman Auditorium is sure to impress not only country music fans, but fans of music history in general. You'll experience all of the same sights seen on the self-guided tour, along with having the privilege to visit some of the backstage areas of the Ryman, including its dressing rooms. What's more, throughout the tour you'll have a knowledgeable guide sharing interesting facts about many of the Ryman's past performances, ranging from the Grand Ole Opry to R. Kelly. Details

-a leonard olson, holbrook, MA
superb and friendly place along with every where else we went in nashville. alot of history to look at there. but again no flash on your camera.
-Edward E Waldron, Lagrange, IN The friendliest employees in Nashville
This was one of the highlights of our trip. The Ryman is beautiful and has so much history. And the staff was wonderful and knowledgable. You can walk right up on the stage. While you there, be sure to record a song. Only 15.00 and you can say you recorded at the Ryman. The songs are limited but you can get a list from the website so you are prepared.
