Country Music Hall of Fame

Nashville is the home of country music present and past. This capital city is home to the Country Music Hall of Fame which memorializes artists in this genre which has had a substantial influence on rock 'n' roll. Amazingly, its collection of 200,000 recordings include 98% of the pre-WWII music that was released commercially. Over 30,000 films, 500,000 photographs, and 100s of historical musical instruments are housed here. If you are lucky enough to see the building from the air, you'll notice that the building is in the shape of a bass clef.
