The Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum is the world’s foremost institution dedicated to preserving and celebrating country music. Located in the heart of downtown Nashville, the Museum has been called the “Smithsonian of country music” — celebrated for its sweeping cultural impact, unrivaled collections, and deep educational mission. In 2024, President Biden awarded the Museum the National Medal of Arts, the highest honor the United States government bestows upon arts institutions, recognizing its work preserving history, honoring the giants of the genre, and inspiring future generations.
The Museum’s licensing program channels the spirit, stories, and iconic imagery of one of America’s most beloved art forms into products that connect consumers to country music’s living legacy — from its folk roots to today’s chart-toppers.
