Museums are mostly dedicated to the world’s history, scientific development and various forms of visual arts. However, there are also museums of different character, which display all sorts of interesting items and which are dedicated to many different things other than history, science or visual arts.
If you like rock music, there are museums offering the experience of learning more about the music, as well as learning about your favorite artists or bands. Here are some of the museums every fan of rock music would certainly love to visit.
Graceland Mansion – this museum is made in the home of Elvis Presley in Memphis, Tennessee, and it is a must-visit destination for all the fans of Elvis, as well as for the fans of rock and roll music in general. In 2006, this place was declared a National Historic Landmark, and it is one of the most visited private homes in the USA. While most of the estate is open for public, the entire second floor is completely closed for visitors. This includes Elvis’ bedroom and the bathroom where he died.
The Johnny Cash Museum – Nashville, Tennessee was home to one of the most influential country musicians of the 20th century, and it is now home to the museum made in his honor. Aside from displaying a vast number of Cash’s personal items, instruments and photos, it also contains a bar where you can have a drink, but also host an event.
The Beatles Story – even the most devoted fans of The Beatles are certain to discover something new about the Fab Four when they visit this museum. It is located in Liverpool, UK, the hometown of this world-famous band. There are plenty of items that belonged to the band members, but also many rare photos and items you have no opportunity to see anywhere else.
The Alman Brothers Museum at the Big House– the fans of blues and country rock will certainly enjoy this museum, made from the band’s residence in Macon, Georgia. The museum includes the band’s instruments, as well as clothes, photos and other items that cannot be seen anywhere else.
Ramones Museum and Bar – if punk rock is your music of choice, the chances are slim that you haven’t listened to Ramones. Although the band was from New York, the museum is located in Berlin, Germany. This is because it was established by a Ramones fan, whose memorabilia collection became too large to be kept in his apartment. Apart from displaying the band-related items, this museum also includes a bar where punk and rock concerts are hosted.
