Must see museum in Nashville - This is a unique museum. The close ups of the musicians and production behind the “stars” and their relationships to the making of the music we have known for decades was very interesting and inspiring.

Mick's Day of Pleasure & Joy in Nashvile - Undoubtedly the best of our 3-day long weekend in Nashville. For any music fan, this is a must stop on your trip. Depending on your age, the memories that the Museum will provoke is simply amazing. For me, starting in the late 50's forward, my senses, excitement and joy of the immersion areas was over the top. Take time to enjoy the video's (comfortable chairs :-) ) and the thorough history that has been well documented and professionally disployed. My conversation with Linda Chambers as I was leaving was so encouraging for my return. Next time I'll spend a whole day here to take in "everything" at a pace of pure enjoyment.

Perfect mix of fun & education - I REALLY enjoyed the different exhibits in the museum!!!! I was surprised at how many of the muscians' names that I knew. The display of various music players that LITERALLY spanned from Edison's voice recorder to iPods.

Worth the walk - I preferred this to the country music hall of fame. A great mix of music styles and great memorabilia to see. A bit out of the way from main Broadway area but worth the walk.

No theme or narrative - All a little incoherent with no overarching narrative. Essentially a display of instruments from various musicians but not presented with any theme or timeline. And some glaring omissions : no mention of jazz, punk, east or west coast. It’s a hall of fame and yet there was no real mention of the inductees. The interactive presentations may have been fun (I didn’t try them) but overall it was very disappointing.
