The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum has been the home of America's music since 1967. In keeping with the cultural significance of the music and the heroic achievements of those who form its membership, the Museum opened in a $37 million landmark new building in May 2001.
Detail Description:
Located on the west bank of the Cumberland River, just a few steps from the historic Ryman Auditorium and the honky-tonks of Lower Broadway, the monumental edifice invigorates the skyline in downtown Nashville's entertainment district.Inside, the Museum presents the crown jewels of its vast collection to illustrate country music's story as told through the turns of two centuries. A treasure trove of historic country video clips and recorded music, dynamic exhibits and state-of-the-art design, a regular menu of live performances and public programs, a museum store, live satellite radio broadcasts, on-site dining, and fabulous public spaces all contribute to an unforgettable Museum experience."Sing Me Back Home" is the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum's permanent exhibit, an exciting, multi-layered journey through the life of country music. Through artifacts, photographs, original recordings, archival video, films, touchscreen interactive media, and beautifully rendered text panels, "Sing Me Back Home" immerses you in the history and sounds of country music.A self-guided tour covering two floors of the museum, "Sing Me Back Home" tells the story of country music from its pre-commercial roots in the nineteenth century through its vibrant life in the twenty-first century. Organized chronologically, the story moves through large subjects such as "Country During the War Years", for example, while each glass artifact case has its own theme as well. You can read about the music and its makers if you like, or you can let the powerful photos, instruments, costumes - and especially the music, tell the story by themselves.
