Permanent Exhibits
The GRAMMY Museum aims to educate individuals about the history and cultural significance of American music and to inspire the next generation to explore and create new forms of music using the roots that have existed in this country for centuries. The Museum accomplishes this through innovative programming, cutting-edge interactives, and exciting exhibitions.
Michael Jackson Display
In the wake of Michael Jackson’s June 2009 passing, the GRAMMY Museum debuted a memorial display—Michael Jackson: A Musical Legacy—in October 2009. Since then, the Museum has exhibited select artifacts from Jackson’s influential career as a performer, singer, dancer, and humanitarian. The Museum’s current tribute to Jackson resides on the third floor and includes an autographed red leather jacket from his “Thriller” music video, which celebrates its 40th anniversary in December 2023.

On The Red Carpet showcases original clothing worn on the GRAMMY Red Carpet and on stage, illustrating the glitz and glamour of Music’s Biggest Night.
