Haley Gallery
Working in collaboration with renowned visual artists, the Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum’s Haley Gallery organizes and displays a variety of visual art exhibitions each year. A portion of proceeds from artwork purchased in the gallery supports the nonprofit Museum’s educational mission. The Haley Gallery is free and open to the public daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. It is closed on Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
The Haley Gallery is operated by the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, along with CMF Press, CMF Records, CMA Theater, the Frist Library and Archive, the Taylor Swift Education Center, Hatch Show Print® poster shop and Historic RCA Studio B®. The museum collects, preserves and interprets country music and its history for the education and entertainment of an array of audiences. In exhibits, publications, digital media and educational programs, the museum explores the cultural importance and enduring beauty of the art form. The museum is operated by the Country Music Foundation, a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) educational organization chartered by the state of Tennessee in 1964. The museum is accredited by the American Alliance of Museums, and is among the most-visited history museums in the United States.

Since 1879, Hatch Show Print has created timeless designs that express and commemorate America’s evolving cultural identity.
