The Stax Museum of American Soul Music is located in the former location of Stax Records on East McLemore Avenue in Memphis. The original Stax Records building was torn down in 1989 and the current museum building was constructed between 2001 and 2003 as a part of a revitalization plan. Dedicated to soul music, the museum is a replica of the Stax recording studio, which was the former Capitol Theatre.

With 17,000 square feet of exhibit space, the museum features interactive exhibits, original instruments, stage costumes, films, videos, and other memorabilia. The museum offers education outreach programs to at-risk youths.
