About Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum

The museum's core exhibition, Sing Me Back Home, follows country music from its folk roots to the present through instruments, stage wear, photographs, video and interactive displays. In the Rotunda, bronze plaques of the Hall of Fame members are arranged like notes on a staff around a Thomas Hart Benton mural. Hatch Show Print, a working letterpress shop, operates inside the building, and guided tours of Historic RCA Studio B on Music Row can be added to a museum ticket.
