Did you know the Grand Ole Opry is the longest-running live radio show in the world? Since 1925, the Opry has broadcast country music every week, live from Nashville. Musicians and music fans from all over the globe have traveled to perform and see the show, and today, listeners can tune in from anywhere in the world. Learn more about the history and impact of the Grand Ole Opry by taking a road trip to the Museum to stand behind the iconic Opry microphone stand with your custom-made microphone design. Draw inspiration from the bedazzled microphones used by country singers including Miranda Lambert and Shania Twain, and channel your inner country star to create an inventive microphone design using color, gems, sequins, and your own creativity. When you’re finished, strike a pose with the Opry microphone stand and snap your own photo. This program was created in partnership with Ryman Hospitality Properties in recognition and celebration of the Grand Ole Opry. Recommended for ages 5 and up, but all are welcome. Taylor Swift Education Center. Included with Museum admission. Free to Museum members.
