Country Music

This tribute to country-music's finest reopens in mid-May 2001 in a new facility across from Nashville's Gaylord Entertainment Center. Loretta Lynn, Hank Williams, Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash, are among the glitzy complex's honorees.

The museum's one million artifacts range from Grand Ole Opry programs and the guitars of the country famous to Elvis Presley's sensational solid-gold 1960 Cadillac limo. A digital film presentation surveys country music around the world, and C&W hopefuls (and occasionally a headliner) perform daily.
