Hatch Show Print Guided Print Shop Tour

Go behind the scenes at Hatch Show Print, where Nashville's iconic concert posters have been created by hand since 1879 using traditional letterpress techniques. Get a close-up look at one of America's oldest working print shops and its lasting impact on Music City's visual identity.

Located inside the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, this tour connects Nashville's music legacy with the craftsmanship of movable type and hand-carved printing blocks. See original posters spanning more than 150 years while learning how bold, eye-catching designs are built from the ground up.

Watch vintage presses in action and follow the step-by-step process behind each print, from layout to final impression. Use traditional tools of the trade to print your own keepsake poster in the Universal Music Group Space for Design.

Tours run daily between 10 AM and 4 PM, with a one-hour duration that fits easily into most Nashville itineraries. Enter through the Rep. John Lewis Way lobby or access the print shop from inside the museum via the Demonbreun Street entrance near the Information Desk. Look for the Hatch Show Print neon sign along Rep. John Lewis Way.
