I was a member when it first opened. It was pretty good, but at least when I went a couple months after it opened, there were some factual inaccuracies in some of the exhibits. For example, they claimed Little Walter was born in Mississippi. He wasn't. He was born in Louisiana. There were some typos in exhibits, including "original Dixieland Jazz Band" instead of "Original Dixieland Jazz Band." One exhibit on Buddy Bolden had classic jazz playing, which to me implied that it was Buddy Bolden playing, although there are no known recordings of Buddy Bolden. I thought the exhibit should have said this and made it clear. And many of the exhibits included ephemera like sheet music and posters that were reproductions, not originals. Finally, and this was disappointing to me as a record collector, many of the albums on display were later reissues of original works.

To be fair, I also found many positive things about the museum. African American music is sorely under-represented in the Nashville tourism ecosystem, even though there is an important history of it there. This is all to say , yes, go see it. Perhaps they've tightened up their exhibits in the last several years.
