Discover the Stories Behind Session Musicians, Engineers and Producers.

Each exhibit tells the story of a musician that you may have heard but may have never seen. The Musicians Hall of Fame is a premiere Nashville attraction and the one and only museum in the world that honors the talented musicians who actually played on the greatest recordings of all time.

One admission price includes access to the Musicians Hall of Fame & Museum and the GRAMMY Museum Gallery ®, an interactive museum where you can learn about every aspect of music. Play guitars, drums & keyboards. Record a Garth Brooks song, sing with Ray Charles or jam with Jimmy Jam.

The Musicians Hall of Fame is the only museum that actually honors the greatest musicians of all time. Some like Jimi Hendrix are well known and others, like legendary studio musician, Hal Blaine, you'll get to know. It's great fun for the whole family and will lift the curtain on the music industry in a way you haven't seen before.

The Musicians Hall of Fame & Museum is located in the first floor of the Historic Nashville Municipal Auditorium. The entrance is on Gay Street between 5th Ave and James Robertson Parkway.
