Rock n Roll your Soul to this museum - I think this tour should be included in the Memphis City tour because this museum expounds on the artist at Sun Studio. This museum is a must visit while in Memphis. It shows a short film that talks about various artist and then you walk through the museum at your own pace. I loved that they gave you headsets which allows you to hear about the exhibits and listen to music. I learned so much and recommend everyone visit the Memphis Rock n Roll Museum.

Worth visiting in Memphis if you love music - I wasn't sure if I'd appreciate this place, but after visiting, I certainly did! It exceeded expectations. As a fan of rock --and-- soul, this museum delivered. I also loved the gift shop where I bought a Tina Turner poster!

Good museum - Enjoyed the museum. I wish we had allotted more time. If you enjoy the blues and history give yourself at least 90 minutes.

Go here 'If time is tight' in Memphis. - We did this tour on our second day after visiting the Stax Museum earlier and Sun Studios on the day before.
It is an interesting self guided tour, but if you've been to the two aforementioned museums there was a lot of duplication and probably not worth going to unless you don't visit Sun or Stax.
