“It is so exciting to see my father’s world come to life for the public to experience and enjoy,” says Wayne’s son Ethan. “The holidays are always a special time for our family and Nashville is such a fun destination during the holiday season.
“We can’t wait to kick off the opening of the exhibit for families and friends to enjoy quality time together while learning about my father beyond his personas on screen in an interactive way.”
Perfect for a holiday visit, John Wayne: The Genuine Article, will be an interactive event fans will not want to miss.
