Memphis Rock 'n' Soul Museum Admission

We learned an incredible amount about the history of soul and rock. The museum was laid out really well, and the exhibit were excellent. I cannot recommend this enough.

Enjoyed this very much. The "self guided" tour was at your own pace and very interactive. Gives a history of the Blues and how it ties into Rock&Roll.

There are so many precious exhibits in this museum that my review won’t do it justice. My main comment is please go!! This museum offers a fascinating look at the evolution of Memphis music, highlighting the growth of rock, soul, and blues from the early 1900s to today. It’s incredible to see how these genres developed side by side, featuring legendary artists like Elvis Presley and Ike & Tina Turner. As a Memphis native, I was thrilled to spot old music stores that I recognized growing up, old billboards, and even neighborhood histories I didn’t realize had changed over time. The experience begins with a short film that sets the stage for Memphis’ rich musical history. From there, you’re given headphones to enjoy detailed audio guides at various exhibits. But a lot of time will be spent taking pictures and just reading the placards for each exhibit. Although they suggest the visit takes about an hour, we spent over two hours exploring. Parents will appreciate the chance to show kids historical items like plowing tools, record players, and jukeboxes. Beyond music, the museum also delves into the political climate and civil rights movement, adding depth to the story. There’s so much to learn and experience here. If you love music and its history, this is absolutely the place for you!

Fabulous museum. The short movie in the beginning sets you up for a true learning experience about the music melting pot that is Memphis. Highly highly recommend a visit.

Very informative, loved headphones so we can listen about each exhibit. My family had a great experience. We sang and dance to the music we were able to listen from the juke box.
