Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum
1100 Rock and Roll Boulevard
Cleveland, OH, 44114
It's called the "ultimate back stage pass" to visit the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, an amazing six story edifice dedicated to recognizing rock and roll greats in one location. Opened in 1995, the building is sleek I.M. Pei architecture overlooking Lake Erie and showcases several lifetimes of rock-and-roll paraphernalia and music. While your Cleveland apartment may host lots of this music, it can't be compared to what lies here. Hundreds of rare treasures can be found in the museum, and as rock and roll changes, so do the exhibits. While a permanent collection exists, many items are on loan from artists and collectors. Because of these loaned artifacts and agreements made with the owners, photography is not allowed except in the museum lobby. A beautiful book, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum Guidebook, that features all major exhibits and happenings at the Museum since its September 1995 opening can be purchased and put on your Cleveland apartment coffee table, however. The exhibits of the museum are regarded as among the world's most significant interpretations of rock and roll history. Featured are both static visuals including rock legends' family photos, Jim Morrison's letters to his mom, Janis Joplin's 1965 Porsche and the suit Elvis wore on the "Ed Sullivan Show." But the museum can't exist without allowing visitors to hear the music and see classic concert film footage, and experience the psychedelic era with interactive kiosks, and it's done well. One section of the museum looks into rock's roots, with displays on the people and music that shaped the blues, gospel, rhythm & blues and country, folk and bluegrass. Another area displays the various music scenes in locations around the world and in the US, at different time periods. Memphis, Detroit, Liverpool, San Francisco, LA, New York, London and Seattle are explored. The early days of rock and roll, soul music, popular music of the day, the evolution of audio technology and Ohio's musical heritage are addressed. Additional exhibits focus on the work of individual artists, ranging from the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Elvis, Jimi Hendrix and Les Paul. A favorite section is 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll. Here you'll see many a memorable tune, from AC/DC's Back in Black to Ziggy Stardust by David Bowie. Blondie, the GoGo's, Ray Charles, Guns and Roses, Prince and of course the Beatles, Led Zepplin and Lynyrd Skynyrd have found their place here. The museum explores individual artists' careers, as well as the movement and evolution of bands and what shaped them. A huge assortment of photos, large and small, of musicians playing and posing enhance the gallery walls. The museum is geared toward music lovers of any age, and children under eight get in free. Occasionally, the museum offers free admission days, but otherwise, the cost is $22 for adults, $17 for 65+, and $13 for ages 9-12.The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum is open 363 days a year, every day from 10 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. On Wednesdays, you can tour the Museum until 9 p.m. Grab that person that shares your Cleveland apartment wall and plays the hip hop music blaring until 3 am and show him or her what real music is all about.
