Mission Statement
The Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum is a 501(c)(3) charity organization. The mission of the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum is to honor all great musicians regardless of genre or instruments. This is done by exhibiting the actual instruments they used to record some of the most iconic songs in recorded history. Not only does the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum entertain local and international visitors, but also educates them about the musicians who actually played on the sound tracks of their lives.
Museums
In November 2003, Joe Frank Chambers and his wife Linda Chambers co-founded the future Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum. They purchased a 30,000 square foot building at 301 6th Ave. S., Nashville, Tennessee across from the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville, TN and began renovating. After two and half years of renovating, they first opened the MHOFM to the public on June 6, 2006. The 30,000-square-foot facility was unique in the world, and its annual awards galas were star-studded affairs. The museum was voted venue of the year 2008 by the Meeting Professionals International. Exhibits consisted of instruments owned and played by well-known artists as well as behind-the-scenes session musicians.[1]
The session musicians were often the house studio musicians in cities such as Memphis, Los Angeles, Detroit, Nashville, Muscle Shoals and New York City. These musicians were often the unsung heroes behind the hits of many great artists. These relatively small groups of players often recorded the majority of hits in the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.
In 2009–10, the city of Nashville seized the building (under the rules of eminent domain) to make way for the construction of The Music City Center. The artifacts were then stored in designated buildings, but many were damaged in the 2010 Nashville flood.
In 2013, the museum found a new home in the spacious old exhibit hall of Municipal Auditorium, which more than doubled the size of the original museum. On August 29, 2013, the MHOFM reopened on the first floor of the historic Nashville Municipal Auditorium just off the James Robertson Parkway exit at 401 Gay Street, Nashville, TN 37219. The 200,000 square foot building houses the historic 10,000-seat Municipal Auditorium. The 68,000 sq. ft. exhibit floor, which was also Nashville's first convention center, houses the museum and its artifacts.

Closing and reopening

On August 29, 2013, the MHOF reopened on the first floor of the historic Nashville Municipal Auditorium just off the James Robertson Parkway exit at 401 Gay Street, Nashville, TN 37219.

The 68,000 sq. ft. exhibit floor, which was also Nashville's first convention center, will now house the museum and its artifacts.
