Nashville’s Country Music Hall of Fame & Museum to Reopen After Six Months

by Jim Casey | @TheJimCasey | August 26, 2020

Nashville’s Country Music Hall of Fame & Museum will reopen to the public on Sept. 10. The Hall of Fame has been closed since March 13 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Tours of Hatch Show Print and Historic RCA Studio B will resume in a limited capacity. All exhibitions that had opened before the museum closed have been extended.

“The museum experience will be slightly different—visitors will wear masks, practice social distancing, tour in smaller groups and enter the museum according to a pre-arranged, staggered schedule, and there will be no in-person programming,” says Kyle Young, museum CEO. “But our commitment to sharing the country music story has not changed.”

New guidelines will help ensure a safe and healthy environment for guests, staff and volunteers, including:

Masks for staff and guests over age 2
Temperature checks for staff and guests entering the building
Intensified and expanded cleaning routines, which include disinfecting high-touch surfaces such as elevator buttons, touchscreens and handrails
Timed ticketing and touchless transactions
