Hear from Country Music Hall of Fame member Dolly Parton on the Museum's newest exhibition, "Dolly Parton: Journey of a Seeker," now open. Even among living legends, Parton’s star shines with unusual brilliance. Her fame casts a wider, brighter light today than at any time in her career of sixty-plus years. The Country Music Hall of Fame member has enjoyed seemingly effortless success as a singer, songwriter, movie and television actor, author, businesswoman, and philanthropist ever since she first hit the record charts in 1967. In truth, however, her achievements required determination to get past those who tried to limit the scale of her dreams. The exhibit focuses on turning points in Parton’s life and career through the decades, where she overcame obstacles and ignored naysayers to become one of the most beloved and widely recognized celebrities across the world. Access to the "Dolly Parton: Journey of a Seeker" exhibit is included with Museum admission. A limited number of timed tickets for the exhibit are available each day. Advance reservations are encouraged. Reserve tickets: https://www.countrymusichalloffame.org/calendar/dolly-parton-journey-of-a-seeker Photo © Jim Herrington https://linktr.ee/jimherrington (fb)
