We visited and immensely enjoyed our visit. There is a great deal of history packed into the quaint location. We enjoyed Mr. Moten's guided tour and learned about the Go-Go music's impact on the music and clothing industry in the 70s, 80s and 90s, and how the rhythmic Go-Go sound was the springboard for Hip-Hop music. The merchandise is also great. I highly recommend it.

So glad we did this!! 5⭐️s across the board. The Go-Go/Hip Hop relations are amazing. Its a great date spot. If you’re a resident its free. If not, a small fee of $15(?). If you grew up here (DC) oh the memories this museum will invoke 💗
