The Museum of Christian & Gospel Music has launched a newly redesigned interactive website, giving visitors an easier way to explore exhibits, purchase tickets, discover live events, and stay connected with the museum through its new Backstage Pass Newsletter.

Located in downtown Nashville, the museum says the new website enhances the visitor experience by providing information on permanent and rotating exhibits, upcoming concerts, and travel resources for guests planning a visit.

Among the featured attractions is the Mike Curb Presents GMA Gospel Music Hall of Fame, along with the museum's "Soundtrack to the Movement" exhibit, which earned the museum recognition as an official stop on the U.S. Civil Rights Trail. Visitors can also access a newly released 24-page visitor guide highlighting important people, places, and stories connected to the Civil Rights Movement in Nashville and beyond.

Since opening in October 2025, the museum has evolved into more than a historical attraction, becoming a destination for intimate concerts and storytelling events featuring some of Christian music's most respected artists and songwriters.

Recent highlights include:

  • Amy Grant's special pop-up exhibit celebrating her latest album release.
  • We The Kingdom's CMA Fest pop-up exhibit.
  • MercyMe's exclusive I Can Only Imagine 2 influencer event.
  • Appearances by CeCe Winans, Kim Boyce, and Chosen Road.
  • Sold-out Stories & Songs performances featuring Buddy Greene, Jeff Taylor, The Lubben Brothers, Joel Lindsey, and Justin Gambino + Friends.

The museum also announced several upcoming events:

  • August 26 - Stryper Album Release Event
  • August 27 - Jason Crabb Album Release Show
  • September 3 - Punk Praise Night featuring Grace Graber & Friends

Visitors can also stop by the museum's newly renamed Catinas Arts Café, which offers specialty coffee, refreshments, and live performances by emerging artists on select Thursdays and Saturdays.

The Museum of Christian & Gospel Music says its mission remains to preserve the legacy of Christian and Gospel music while creating meaningful experiences through exhibits, live performances, and the stories behind the songs that have inspired generations of believers.
