Lane Motor Museum Vault Tours

Get a behind-the-scenes look at one of Nashville's most unique car collections. Since the museum houses over 550 vehicles but can only display about 150 at a time, these guided vault tours offer families a chance to explore the hidden gems stored downstairs. Each tour lasts roughly 45 minutes and takes you through the lower level where additional cars and motorcycles are kept. You'll gather with your group near the brochure display in the main exhibit area, and tours depart right on schedule, so arrive about five minutes early. A vault tour adds $10 per person to regular museum admission and can be purchased at the admissions desk on a first-come, first-served basis (groups capped at 30 people). Tours happen most weekends at two times each day, though schedules can shift weekly, so check ahead before your visit. The vault is reached by a steep staircase from the main floor—if stairs aren't accessible for your family, staff can arrange an alternative entrance at the back of the building. Feel free to bring cameras; photography is welcome throughout the tour.
