How does a pair of tickets to Ryman Auditorium sound? You could be the lucky winner! Grab a ticket and help support Songs For Heroes 2025 | Nashville, TN. It's a win/win!

Nashville is full of historic things to do and see and is home to several museums. But one museum stands out above the rest: Ryman Auditorium. It’s a living museum bursting with history and still actively operates as one of the most famous music venues in the U.S. For anyone wanting to better understand music history and how Nashville became known as Music City, a visit to the Ryman is a can’t miss.

Nashville is the number one destination for music lovers from around the world, but it wasn’t always known as Music City; Ryman Auditorium contributed to that. What was built as the Union Gospel Tabernacle in 1892 quickly became a cultural center for the city, hosting renowned speakers and musicians from around the world. Now, more than 125 years later, the Ryman, also called the Mother Church, stands as a living museum and a significant site for music history and the city of Nashville. Take a tour, see a concert, and get to know the roots of Music City at this unique museum.

Ryman Auditorium offers several different museum tour options. Whether you’re wanting to learn from a tour guide or prefer to explore at your own pace, the Ryman’s got an option that works for you. Each tour offers unique features and benefits so you can get exactly what you want from your visit to this famous Music City landmark.
