Known throughout the world as “Music City,” Nashville is a superb vacation choice for those interested in learning more about the city’s rich musical legacy. Accordingly, one of the top attractions in Nashville is the Country Music Hall of Fame. Opened in 1961, the museum features exhibits about the legendary artists who helped cement Nashville’s status as the world capital of country music. It also exhibits hundreds of pieces of memorabilia from most of the industry’s legendary performers. One of the premier spots to listen to live country music in Nashville is Ryman Auditorium. Built in 1891, it hosted the Grand Ole Opry for dozens of years and is now both a museum and performance space. Visitors interested in exploring Nashville’s artistic legacy often head to the Frist Center for the Visual Arts. Though it does not maintain a permanent collection, the museum regularly features high-profile exhibits that focus on American art. Those wishing to enjoy a relaxing and beautiful day are advised to visit the Cheekwood Botanical Garden and Museum of Art. Once a mansion housing the city’s wealthy Cheek family, it was converted into a museum in 1960. The botanical garden is set on 55 acres of land and features flowering plants from around the world, while the museum holds more than 5,000 prints, photographs and drawings in its permanent collection.
