The Memphis Rock 'n' Soul Museum was established in 2000 by the Smithsonian Institution to tell the story about the birth of rock and soul in Memphis. Its exhibits portray the lives of musical pioneers who were able to overcome all barriers – racial, social, or economic – for the love of music. Their music went on to change the world.
The museum is located at the FedExForum complex, and its galleries offer a complete Memphis music experience. The museum’s audio tour guide contains 300 minutes of information that includes more than 100 songs. Visitors can visit the museum’s seven galleries at their own pace, enjoying three audiovisual features, 40 costumes, 30 instruments, and many other treasures.
