Patsy Cline Museum, Madame Tussauds open in Nashville
NASHVILLE — Two new attractions opening this month in Nashville will give fans a chance to get closer to some of their favourite country music icons.
The legendary vocalist Patsy Cline gets an overdue honour with a new museum blocks from the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. And Madame Tussauds on Friday opens a new music-focused attraction near the Grand Ole Opry House, featuring lifelike figurines of Taylor Swift, Blake Shelton, Luke Bryan and many more.
Just in time for the spring and summer travel season, the attractions bring another new tourist draw to the city that has been regularly featured in lists of top U.S. destinations for travellers.
On Thursday, Trisha Yearwood unveiled her figurine at Madame Tussauds Nashville, which looked nearly identical down to the wedding ring, dress, shoes and even some of her own hair extensions, Yearwood said.
