Great museum - 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.

Very Inviting and Informative Experience - 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.

Don’t miss this small jewel of a museum! - 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!

A must visit - 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.

Birthday trip - 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.

Great tour to take!! - The Memphis Rock 'n' Soul museum was fantastic; so much history and very informational. I wish we had more time to go through it; it was well worth the money!!

Enjoyable stop - You are given a headset, sit down and watch a 10 minute movie and you are off. The exhibits are well organized and easy to follow. Because of the headsets, you move at your own pace. Really enjoyed this spot. Give it about 90 minutes to 2 hours.

Early Soul and Rock. - Focus is on early Memphis music; soul and early rock. Great movie prior to waking through the museum. As part of the reasonable admission is a headset and commentary. It took us one and a half hour to see everything.

We didn't go because... - We didn't go because Graceland don't give bus rides to there and Sun Studio. We had our heart set to go. We ask an employee where do we catch the bus to go to Beale Street and they said oh we don't have a bus to go there, you would either take a taxi or drive yourself. Well we don't know the area and both my husband and I can't see all that well, so of course we don't want to drive and to take a taxi would be insane. So, with our hearts broken we decided to go home here in Pennsylvania. And F*** everything. We got to Graceland because our Motel was a block away. But that was a disasters . Everything was Military style. And we even had VIP Pass. We won't go back, definitely. We just spent 2,000 dollars on a destroyed trip, that we had our hearts set on.
