The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum has opened its newest exhibit, putting the spotlight on Rosanne Cash, a second-generation star who’s fleshed out her own identity. (...) The exhibit depicts the dialogue she engaged in with her dad, the songs, letters and tokens they exchanged back and forth. At the same time, it shows how Rosanne continually expanded her world intellectually, and moved from writing songs to short stories, essays and memoir. In her remarks, she spoke of how sifting through the mementos that she’d long stockpiled, now thoughtfully framed by museum curators, gave her new perspective on her lifelong restlessness: “So many of those attempts to break the binds, successful or not, are behind glass now, and in the vaults here.” The exhibit’s title is “Rosanne Cash: Time Is a Mirror,” and it will remain open until March 2026.
