Note we took this tour the day after the National Civil Rights Museum. Where the NCRM had room after room of information & displays, this museum had like 4 rooms total. Lots of pictures on the walls with factual information. The headset walks you through. Liked the video at the very beginning and the one or two videos throughout. But... more

While my family enjoyed the Graceland and Sun Studio tours, this one was a snoozefest. I also feel like this museum intentionally downplayed the influence of Elvis and some others by focusing mainly on the soul aspect. Very little rock here. It was almost laughable the way a single afterthought wall display mentioned the Beatles at the end. I wouldn't... more

I agree with previous posts, this is the place to start. The museum does a great job of chronicling the history of rock and soul. Easy to understand and you travel at your own pace. more

I have to admit that I didn't have particularly high expectations of this museum. I was so wrong! Having done the tour, I would advise anyone going to Memphis to do this tour as soon as they arrive.

Whilst you take some time to visit Beale Street and try and avoid the panhandlers, make sure that whatever you do, set aside a couple of hours to visit the Rock'n'Soul Museum. A vast array of super interesting exhibits, combined with knowledgeable staff make this self guided audio tour an absolute must do. (The personal highlight for me was the... more

This Museum focuses mainly on the Soul aspect of Rock n Roll, it gives you a great history in the way Soul music formed all around the World. Rock artists are also featured here. Good value for money & a nice place to check out. more
