This building was opened on May 17 2001 in downtown Nashville and is made up of symbolic images of music. The windows look like piano keys. The round discs surrounding the tower symbolize the different size records and cds used to record country music and viewed from the air (no I didn't see it I just read this) the building is shaped like a bass clef.
Inside the Hall of Fame there is a collection of memorabilia that illustrates country musics story through two centuries.
There were many instruments used to shape the country music world and some of them are displayed here at the Hall Of Fame.
It was so great to see some of the costumes that were actually worn by some of the great singers.
This is Elvis Presley's Solid Gold Cadillac. This 1960 cadillac was accented in 24 karat gold.a d its exterior sheen is due to forty coats of a translucent mixture of crushed diamonds and fish scales called diamond dust pearl. The interior has a gold plated television.
This Gold Piano also belonged to Elvis and was a gift to him from his wife. It was covered in gold leaf.
Many great faces adorned these walls, some of them gone already and some of them very much alive.
