Legends of Country Music Museum
Discover personal items and memorabilia from Willie Nelson and over 35 other country music legends in this Nashville museum.
Planning your visit
The Legends of Country Music Museum on Nashville's Lower Broadway holds personal items and memorabilia from Willie Nelson and more than 35 other country artists — stage clothing, instruments, awards, handwritten material and personal effects, assembled largely from private collections rather than institutional archives.
The distinction worth drawing is with the Country Music Hall of Fame a few blocks away, which is a large, scholarly institution covering the genre's history systematically. This is smaller, more anecdotal and organised around individual artists, and it suits visitors who want proximity to specific figures rather than a survey.
Willie Nelson is the anchor, with substantial material covering his career from Nashville songwriter through the outlaw country movement to the present.
Lower Broadway around it is the honky-tonk strip, with live music running from late morning to late night in a dozen bars. Allow an hour. The main booking is an entry ticket. Current availability is shown below.
