The museum was awesome. But a little piece advice. Advise people that purchase tickets that they do not have to be there at 10 when the museum is open. We rushed to get there only to find out we had all day...well as long as they were open and the tickets were good the whole weekend. Several people that purchased tickets from viator showed up thinking the same! But everything else was awesome

Rocking with Rock & Soul Music

I so enjoyed all the exhibits and how easy it was to select the audio you wanted to listen to! It was great to stop & sit or stand to listen to the music of artist I recognized & their were many at my age, as well as listen to some artist I wasn’t familiar with! It was a great exhibit, almost like attending a concert! !
