The Nashville Country Music Hall of Fame was an excellent museum with terrific exhibits, a fantastic collection of memorabilia,  great sound clips and videos, and an extensive amount of information about the history of country music.  It is the world's largest repository of country music artifacts and one of its largest music research centers. It opened in 1967 at the head of Music Row but in 2001 moved to its current location in downtown Nashville.  We spen...

Our day in Nashville was jammed packed of museums, seeing the sites and eating. Beginning at Starbucks for breakfast, we then wandered down to the Visitor Centre to plan our day....so much to see but so little time so we wanted to make sure we allocated enough time for our main attractions. The plan for the day was; Ryman Theatre, Country Music Hall of flame and Museum, lunch, Johny Cash Museum, bridge walk, Wildhorse Saloon for dinner and line dancing, and the...

At the checkin, yes we had to check in and have bags weighed, this was confirmed "first come, first serve". At 7...
