Ryman Auditorium is a historic music and performance venue in Nashville, Tennessee.
The building was first opened in 1892 by Captain Thomas G. Ryman as the Union Gospel Tabernacle. In 1904, Captain Ryman died and the building was renamed Ryman Auditorium in his honor. From 1943 to 1974, the Ryman hosted the Grand Ole Opry show. After the Opry left, the Ryman sat mostly vacant until 1994 when it was restored and reopened as a performance venue and museum.
