NASHVILLE (CelebrityAccess) – The renowned Johnny Cash Museum in Nashville is once again in the spotlight with a prestigious nomination in USA Today’s 10 Best Music Museums. After securing the top spot in 2023, the museum is poised for another victory, capping off a remarkable year marked by record-breaking visitor numbers and celebrating its monumental 10-year anniversary in May. Readers have the chance to cast their votes once a day until Monday, February 12. Voting is open at this link.
In a double recognition for Icon Entertainment and Hospitality, the Patsy Cline Museum, dedicated to the late country legend, also made its mark by ranking at No. 8 in 2023. This year, it joins its sister property in the nomination.
Bill Miller, Founder and CEO of Icon Entertainment and Hospitality, expressed his honor, saying, “It’s truly an honor to once again have our two museum properties nominated by USA Today for Best Music Museums in the United States of America.” Reflecting on the Top Ten placements last year, with Johnny Cash Museum claiming the No. 1 spot and Patsy Cline Museum securing No. 8, Miller emphasized the testament to the legacies of both artists. He added, “We are pleased to present top-notch experiences to guests from around the world.”
The Johnny Cash Museum, a must-visit destination in Music City, houses the world’s largest and most comprehensive collection of Johnny Cash artifacts and memorabilia. Offering a diverse experience for enthusiasts of pop culture, film, music, and fashion, the museum has become an enriching and entertaining spot for visitors and locals alike.
The museum’s origins trace back to owner Bill Miller’s personal relationship with the iconic artist, spanning over 50 years. Cash played a pivotal role in Miller’s journey, helping him establish a presence in Nashville as a photographer and later enlisting Miller to launch his official website. Recognizing the absence of a fitting Cash attraction in Nashville, Miller founded the Johnny Cash Museum in 2013. The museum marked the inception of Icon Entertainment & Hospitality’s extensive portfolio in downtown Nashville, now encompassing over 100,000 square feet of commercial real estate.
The Patsy Cline Museum was inaugurated in 2017 and pays homage to the legendary songstress with a captivating collection of never-before-seen artifacts, personal belongings, videos, and more.
