Museums & Galleries in and near Nashville, TN

If you’re looking for things to do in Tennessee, Nashville museums boast a wealth of family-friendly fun and knowledge and about the region’s culture and history. Downtown Nashville has a lot to offer music fans, with the Musicians Hall of Fame & Museum hosting 20,000 square feet of exhibits, including guitars from Jimi Hendrix and Les Paul, or the landmark Ryman Auditorium, with more than 120 years of gospel and country music history inside. Nashville attractions aren’t just reserved for the area’s rich tradition of music, however. Head out to Centennial Park to see the Nashville Parthenon, a full-scale replica of the iconic classical Greek structure that also doubles as the city’s art museum.
