Country legend Dolly Parton, now seventy-nine years old, has teased fresh details about her highly-anticipated Life of Many Colors Museum, set to launch in Nashville, Tennessee. Scheduled to open in 2026, the museum will be located on the third floor of the brand-new SongTeller Hotel, promising a deeply personal and immersive experience “through the eyes of Dolly herself”.
A recent announcement introduced Parton’s Hall of Fame Exhibit—a featured section within the museum dedicated to celebrating Parton’s career achievements, particularly her 21st-century successes. The exhibit will spotlight iconic elements from her life, including glamorous wardrobe pieces, prestigious awards, and visual content that underscores her enduring cultural impact. Guests will have the opportunity to enjoy the space and even snap photos from what’s described as a platform stage.
This immersive museum will open alongside the already-launched Journey of a Seeker Exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville, Tennessee. Running now through September 2026, that exhibit explores various facets of Parton’s legacy—from her trailblazing music and film roles to her philanthropic efforts through the Imagination Library. Highlights include her original handwritten draft of ‘Jolene’, costumes from the film ‘9 to 5’, a custom-built banjo, and other treasured memorabilia.
As Parton’s SongTeller Hotel takes shape as “a hub of music, style, and hospitality designed the Dolly-way”, renderings and sneak peeks have been shared on the venue’s Instagram since early June—building excitement for what promises to be a dazzling tribute to her expansive career.
