Since 1974, the Grand Ole Opry has been performed at the specially built Grand Ole Opry House in Music Valley. The Opry performs at least two times a week, Friday and Saturday, with additional shows on Tuesday night most weeks.
If you don’t come to see a show, you can stop at the Grand Ole Opry Museum (2802 Opryland Dr., 615/889-6611, Mon., Wed., and Thurs. 10 a.m.–6 p.m., Tues. 10 a.m.–7:30 p.m., Fri. 10 a.m.–8:30 p.m., Sat. 10 a.m.–10 p.m., Sun. noon–5 p.m., free). The museum has exhibits about many early Opry members and performers, including Minnie Pearl and Roy Acuff. It also emphasizes the important link between the Opry and WSM radio, which still broadcasts the Opry live in Nashville and on the Internet. The museum is closed in January and February.
If the Opry isn’t occupied with a performance or special event, you can take a backstage tour for $11.
