Bob Dylan. Madonna. Ella Fitzgerald. Bono. Dr. Dre. Whoever the artist, whatever the genre, the GRAMMY MuseumSM celebrates them with the respect of a true music fan. It’s not just about “liking” a song; it’s about knowing the impact the song has made on people and society. The GRAMMY Museum was built with this in mind, and visitors to Los Angeles can experience the museum’s tribute to the musical process and the culture of music.
Located right in the heart of the L.A. LIVE development, the museum features four floors, each with its own take on the golden thread that music has played in modern history. Thought-provoking programs, interactive exhibits and a 200-seat soundstage showcase the past, present and future of music. Visitors have a chance to immerse themselves in artist profiles, films, timelines, memorabilia and engaging multimedia presentations. In perhaps the most alluring part of the museum, a mock studio takes visitors through the actual recording process, using industry experts to lead visitors through mixing and producing.
In the spirit of learning, the GRAMMY Museum features numerous educational and public programs designed to engage young people, students, music fans — anyone interested in the world of music. The museum even offers music classes for children, as well as lectures with visiting artists and industry insiders.
Dubbed a "museum of the 21st century," the GRAMMY Museum hardly resembles a behind-the-glass exhibition. Visitors won’t find any imposing guards asking you to “keep it down.” After all, it’s about music, and “turn it up” is the more likely sentiment.
Explore our virtual preview of the museum’s highlights, but remember, if music has taught us anything, it's that there’s nothing like the experience itself. Purchase tickets at www.grammymuseum.org.
