Ryman Auditorium’s daytime tours take guests beyond the pews seven days a week to experience the history of Nashville’s Mother Church and the legendary artists that have graced its stage. Visitors currently have the opportunity to experience special exhibits including “Opry 100 at the Ryman,” which highlights the 100-year history of the Grand Ole Opry and the Ryman’s role as its most famous former home from 1943 to 1974 alongside exclusive memorabilia from Opry members like Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton and Patsy Cline. Another current exhibit, “Unexpected Company,” reveals surprising guests and moments in Ryman history through related memorabilia, including Harry Houdini’s 1924 performance, Jackie Robinson’s speech on civil and voting rights, and Clint Eastwood’s 1982 movie shot at the Ryman.
