Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

We already introduced the Great American City of Cleveland earlier this month. Now it’s time to explore one of the city’s most famous attractions – the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame:

“One of the most popular places to visit in Cleveland is the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. This museum dedicated to rock and roll was opened in 1995.

There are many exhibits in the museum, such as the Evolution of Rock and Roll. Learn about the history of this style of music through the roots of rock, and more.

Often referred to as the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley gets his own section in the museum. You can even see his custom-made motorcycle and shiny suit.

In the area titled “Cities and Sounds,” visitors can learn about the rock and roll scene in Detroit, San Francisco, London, Seattle, and more. Other genres are also covered, such as heavy metal and hip-hop.

Many legends are here, such as Aerosmith, the Allman Brothers Band, Michael Jackson, James Brown, David Bowie, the Who, and Bruce Springsteen.

Of course, you’ll also find the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, and Jimi Hendrix.

There’s lots to see, from cool cars and drum sets, to Phish’s giant flying hot dog. There are original lyrics on display, as well as many clippings from rock magazine Rolling Stone.

Other special exhibits include the Architects of Rock and Roll, featuring Les Paul and his famous guitars, Video Killed the Radio Star, and on our visit there was one area dedicated to Pink Floyd’s classic album The Wall.

My personal highlight was seeing these original guitars from the Grateful Dead. I also found their names on the wall, and caught them in the short film along with another favorite, Bob Marley. A visit to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a must for any music lover.”
