The Musicians Hall of Fame is the only museum in the world that honors the talented musicians who actually played on the greatest recordings of all time. Some like Jimi Hendrix are well known, while others like L.A session drummer Hal Blaine are not as well known to the public, but have played on hundreds of hit records from Elvis, Frank and Nancy Sinatra,The Byrds, The Mamas and The Papas and The Beach Boys

The Musicians Hall of Fame & Museum honors all musicians regardless of genre or instrument, and has on exhibit the very instruments that these musicians used to record their classic hits. The museum offers guests a once in a lifetime experience to see instruments, studio booths, and more used by some of your favorite famous artists.

The GRAMMY Museum Gallery® at Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum is an interactive facility that allows guests to explore the history of the GRAMMY Awards®, and gives all ages the opportunity to be onstage and interact with every aspect of the recording process.

With the privacy of headphones, visitors can play electric drums, keyboard, bass, and guitar, or sing along with Ray Charles and the Raelettes, the all-girl group who provided backing vocals for the legendary musician. There are also interactive exhibits for singing, recording, and DJing, and a recording studio and rehearsal room for those who want the full recording experience. The GRAMMY Museum Gallery is a permanent exhibit in the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum, and one ticket allows access to both exhibits.

The Musicians Hall of Fame & Museum is located on thre first floor of the Historic Nashville Municipal Auditorium, with the museum entrance on Musicians Way.
