Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum

The Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum displays instruments, equipment, and memorabilia used in recording sessions by influential artists across multiple genres. The space showcases behind-the-scenes tools that shaped sound across rock, country, soul, and other musical styles.

The venue was established in 2003 to honor those who shaped recorded music from the studio side rather than as performers alone. It moved to its current location in Nashville's Municipal Auditorium in 2013 after leaving its original space.

The museum recognizes session musicians, engineers, and producers who contributed to the recording industry through annual induction ceremonies featuring performances by notable artists.

The museum occupies a large indoor space that allows you to walk through different sections at your own pace without feeling crowded. Visitors of all ages can interact with some displays, so bring comfortable shoes and plan to spend a couple of hours exploring.

You can see and touch actual equipment that recorded some of the most famous songs ever made, not just artifacts from celebrity performers. Instruments like Elvis Presley's recording gear and Jimi Hendrix's guitar sit alongside the microphones and mixing consoles that captured their voices and riffs.
