So glad I stumbled into this museum. Located directly across from Bridgestone Arena & nestled between the Assembly Food Hall. I thoroughly enjoyed the exhibit & the interactive elements. Will definitely again!

I'm really not sure there were only 2 of us. I'm sure if you called and asked they would be more than happy to answer your question.

Why only do African American? What about all African music instead of just Americans that became American?

Elliott Marshall | Mar 4, 2022
Kathryn Robertson | Mar 4, 2022

The same could be said for the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. Why just country, why not all types of music: pop, electronic, folk, etc. The reason is because the museums want to provide a focus to a specific topic. I will tell you this, I have been to a lot of museums and this one is one of my favorites. It is very interactive and has a clear attention to details. I hope you get the opportunity to experience it for yourself.

Sharon Miller | Mar 4, 2022

Generally, Americans of African descent. The music was borne out of Africa.
