Journey of a Seeker

State of the Music

The latest installment, which will be open through January 2026, features music and moments from cozy clubs to arena rafters.

Rosanne Cash:

Time Is a Mirror

Rosanne Cash: Time Is a Mirror, traces the life of an artist, raised within a legacy few get to experience, who established a legacy all her own.

Writers, Pickers and Stars:

The exhibit features photographs from Rode’s 2024 book, “Songwriter Musician: Behind the Curtain with Nashville’s Iconic Storytellers and Players.” The exhibit is free and will be open to the public through July 2026 in the museum’s first-floor gallery.
