5TH AVENUE EXPERIENCE 

The Museum is located in the heart of Nashville’s 

evolving arts and entertainment district, an area that 

will include a vibrant new Fifth Avenue scene on 

the immediate west side of the building. The adjacent 

Omni Nashville Hotel will be a short walk south, 

and the new Music City Center will be located just 

across Fifth Avenue. When reserved, the street can 

be closed and turned into a Nashville-style block 

party, complete with all the sights and sounds of the 

city’s electric entertainment atmosphere. In case of 

inclement weather, the entire event can be moved 

inside the Museum, where guests will continue to 

enjoy Southern hospitality, distinctive food and 

drink, live music and experience tours of the latest 

exhibitions and the Hall of Fame Rotunda. 

Historic Hatch Show Print, new restaurants, 

shopping and more will also be available in the 

Museum, accessed from the Fifth Avenue side of 

the building. All of this lies within short walking 

distance of Bridgestone Arena, and the historic 

Lower Broadway and Second Avenue districts — 

the distinctive soul of the city, layered with thriving 

honky tonks, live music and restaurants.

“The music- perfection! The Trio provided exactly what you had promised as to sound and managed to seem as if they 

enjoyed their job- smiling and happy while others were eating, socializing, etc. Their personalities were also the right 

touch for this group- there, in the background, but not intrusive. Even the boss, who did not really want music at all, 

came over twice and said “You were right, the music is great! And provides a nice touch!” Thanks again for your help, 

your attitude, etc., not to mention that I will enjoy working with you and the others in the future in some capacity. 

I know this is an everyday job for you, but, as you could tell from the beginning—it was a major undertaking for me. 

And I don’t know if you were around to hear the boss give me all the credit—and I accepted it. ”
