Dolly Parton's Multifaceted Legacy Showcased at Nashville Museum and Hotel
The 20,000-square-foot museum traces Parton’s life, fashion and legacy, and tickets are already selling out, staff said.
- On Tuesday, Nashville officially opened the Dolly Parton Songteller Hotel and Life of Many Colors Museum, a 20,000-square-foot tribute to the late singer who died in August at age 80.
- Creative director Steve Summers designed the 240-room hotel as a 'love letter to Nashville,' featuring glitter, rhinestones, and butterflies, with rooms equipped with musical instruments to encourage songwriting.
- Exhibits showcase Parton's life from Smoky Mountain roots to the Imagination Library, including her original wedding dress worn to marry Carl Dean, which curator Rebecca Seaver recovered from a trunk about a year ago.
- Tickets are selling out rapidly, with fans traveling from Sugar Land, Texas, to attend. Summers described the opening as 'bittersweet' because Parton never saw the finished project.
- Parton's creative team preserved her extensive memorabilia and stage outfits, ensuring her legacy remains for years to come. Families from the Imagination Library were the first to tour the new space.
