Luxury Hotels In Nashville

The National Museum of African American Music traces spirituals, blues, gospel, jazz, R&B and hip-hop through their cultural history. Its Rivers of Rhythm timeline connects musical development with American history. Choose this visit when you want to follow the relationships between genres and communities, adding a wider musical perspective to a Nashville stay.

Cheekwood's Carell Sculpture Trail places artwork along a woodland path, where the pieces respond to the natural setting. Choose it when looking at art outdoors interests you more than another indoor gallery visit. Match the walk to your party's mobility and the day's conditions; the landscape is part of the artistic experience.

The Mansion Tour explores Belle Meade's Greek Revival house, the families and people who worked there, and its equestrian history. Journey to Jubilee focuses on the experiences of Black Americans before and after emancipation, including enslavement and contract labor. Choose the tour for the historical questions you want to understand, rather than visiting only for the building's appearance.

The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum develops country music's history through artifacts, photographs, recorded sound and film. Historic RCA Studio B brings you into a recording space associated with Elvis Presley, Chet Atkins and other artists, and the development of the Nashville Sound. Add the studio visit when the place where records were made interests you as much as the museum's wider story.

Nashville's Parthenon recreates the scale of the ancient temple in Athens, with a 42-foot re-creation of Athena inside. Choose it for an architectural and sculptural outing that develops the city's classical-art side. The full-scale building and the figure give this visit a different focus from Nashville's music-history attractions.
