You know the name. You’ve heard the hits.
Now, prepare to step into the transformative world of Rosanne Cash: Time Is a Mirror — the newest dedicated exhibition at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.
On display through March 2026, this exhibit celebrates an artist who carved her own path in country music while honoring the legacy she inherited — earning four Grammys in the process.
Genre-bending greatness
Cash has been hailed as both “a musical mystic” and “a songwriting time traveler.” Her body of work, while classically defined as country, draws from many genres, including folk, pop, rock, blues, and Americana.
From chart-topping hits to reflective ballads, the new exhibition explores the depth and breadth of a career that continues to resonate through generations of music fans.
