Michael HuntleySeptember 1, 2013Must stop while in Nashville! A great look at one of Country music's more well known performers. Great collection at personal life with a good video look at his tv/movie career. Good job to staff!Upvoted 18 hours ago
Erik RowleyMarch 9, 2015A beautiful tribute and a fascinating display into the life of Johnny Cash. It also pays tribute to early rock'n roll artists during the Sun Records period. A must see museum in Nashville!
Steve JohnstonOctober 26, 2015A great retrospective on the life of Johnny Cash. Make sure to turn left at the end of the hall to check out the Sun Records exhibit. A few too many replicas of historical items, but great collection.
Mark BApril 17, 2021Very cool museum about Johnny Cash. Lots of personal items of his along with the history of his rise to fame. A well put together exhibit.
Roshel AghassiJune 21, 2017So much music history in here. Great music playing but so much more. Highly recommend if you're looking for a small piece of history.
Amanda McNeilOctober 11, 2015The picture with Johnny Cash sounds corny but is actually really cool! The stone wall inside the museum is the wall from the Cash house, and you can touch it!
Sandrene MathewsJune 18, 2017One of the few tourist places I like to go, in any city. I live here and have been several times, even without the excuse of taking my out of town friends.
Alexander FrostApril 5, 2013This is an awesome memorial to a legendary musician. I'm admittedly not a big fan of country music, but I'd certainly recommend checking this place out to even the most diehard non-country folks.
Mark AdamsMarch 31, 2022Great museum. The best exhibit is Johnny cash progression of sound. Listen to a bunch of versions of the same song. Make sure u finish with the remastered.
Tammy CassidyApril 27, 2013What an amazing collection! Thank you so much for sharing these special memories. And what a special treat to meet Ms. Joanne Cash! Thank you!

Rachel KSeptember 6, 2017Pretty small museum. There's really only a few rooms, but the exhibits are nicely designed and there are lots of stations for listening to his music.
Amanda ZApril 17, 2015This was the coolest museum I've ever visited. Very interactive, and there's so many cool artifacts and fun facts we never knew about

- Amanda ZApril 17, 2015The coolest museum I've ever been to. Very interactive and there's so many different artifacts and cool facts we never knew about!
Briana BaileyApril 29, 2018Cool museum but bathroom situation is terrible. There are 2 single bathrooms in the ticket/gift shop area and apparently a bathroom inside the museum but even w/ ticket they didn’t let us go back
Cicely LJune 18, 2016Great little museum for a fan!! Just the right mix or memorabilia, history and film clips.
Lynn MortonNovember 22, 2013Super cool place to check out in Nashville. If you're a Cash fan, you shouldn't miss this.
Stephanie DavisMay 2, 2016Took about 3 hours between the reading, videos, audio stations, and shopping. Enjoy the experience. There's a lot to take in.
- Alexis SmithDecember 2, 2016Everything, a very through museum of the life of Johnny Cash. Very enjoyable!!!
Bradley NoblittDecember 24, 2012Great place to visit! They are about to open another HUGE section with several items on display from the Johnny Cash's estate. Incredible museum.- Erik RowleyMarch 9, 2015My hometown Spirit Lake, IA is one of the places sung by Johnny Cash in "I've Been Everywhere Man". If you haven't been, GO!
Yaeka KatsutaSeptember 11, 2014It is a small museum but there is lots of content and memorabilia. Plan on spending at least an hour there
Stuart RosenbergJanuary 3, 2015A pretty cool, efficient look at Johnny Cash's life and accomplishments. Worth an hour or so of your time.
Maggie MacGJune 17, 2021This museum is pretty interesting but has a weird layout and can get quiet crowded.
Thomas DuebnerJune 15, 2016Hurt is such a powerful song and video. This museum was a great experience.
kevin kiernanNovember 9, 2015Expensive, small, overcrowded. We couldn't enjoy this as it was too packed. Staff disinterested - they may know how bad it is. Too bad!
tara weselyAugust 4, 2013Charged us tax on TN's tax free holiday. Said they "just opened" & "didn't participate because we were just notified & didn't have time to prepare" also their "manager doesn't know how to do that". BS
