No Memphis visit would be complete without seeing this museum. Lots of historical information and displays covering the incredible music scene there.

A waste of money. More then half of videos and/or sound didn't work. If it was maintained it would be worth $5.

Holy cow, what a great little museum! Full of great artifacts and stories from and about local Memphis artists. Tons of great info with interactive kiosks and listening stations. We did the combo pricing with the Rock n Soul museum to save a few bucks, totally worth it, all within walking distance of Beale! Plus hit up Lansky Brother's in the lobby for some fresh gear!
