A few of the items to be showcased include:

“History is being made each and every day in music, and the music changes constantly. At the museum we share the history of this art form with our visitors. The journey starts where country music began and it progresses as the music evolves,” said Museum CEO Kyle Young. “The ACM Gallery allows us to fulfill our mission of educating audiences by reporting on the state of country music today.”
