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.
