A must for music lovers - This is a must for music lovers. An interesting perspective of the industry. Exposes you to the side unseen and to the incredible talents behind the stars. It's big and there is lots to see. Give yourself plenty of time to look around and soke it in. There was so much that I didn't know, I wanted to see and read everything, but just didn't have time due to scheduling. I would recommend adding this to your things to do in Nashville. Pro tip: You can park at the farmers market(which is great) for free if you are willing to walk a few blocks.

Must see museum in Nashville - This is a unique museum. The close ups of the musicians and production behind the “stars” and their relationships to the making of the music we have known for decades was very interesting and inspiring.

Better than expected - I wasn’t sure what to expect. I was bringing my two teenage daughters, wasn’t sure if they were going to be entertained, but they totally were! The interactive exhibits are awesome!
