This is a good half day to visit and see it all. If you are in to music, this is a must see location.

Visited this newly opened museum recently. Not as big as I had hoped, but had some interesting exhibits and some trivia quiz screens which were fun.

This is a very small museum. Not what I expected. I was expecting many floors and detailed exhibits. It doesn’t have much information about each singer, but interesting.

We bought the combination ticket with the Rock N' Soul..... so it may have been worth the $6 dollars we paid but would not have been wroth $8 if we paid the full price. This is small and lacking exhibits. The signage is small and placed in odd places near the floor which makes it difficult to read. This museum can be seen in less than 30 minutes. I can't recommend the time and money.

We stayed down off Beale St. , but wanted to go to a store that didn't open up until 11:00 the next morning. Because of this we tried the Memphis Music Hall of Fame. Very cheap admission, but great things to look at. It's not a big place but very interesting. If you have an extra hour it is worth the stop.

There is nothing bad that you could say about this place - its amazing! As a child of the 50's and 60's, I was in music heaven and the fact that I'm a HUGE Elvis fan just doubled the pleasure. Wish I had the money to go back!

If you are a 'beginner', interested to learn more about the history of music and its development in Memphis, this is not tje place for you. There are costumes of unknown artists, some attributes and some screens repeating videos. On maybe 200 square meters. Very dissappointing. No clear storyline at all. Even the charged 8usd feels very very expensive.

This is twinned with the Rock n Soul Museum (for tickets). It is centrally located, well appointed and in reasonably close proximity to other sights in the centre of Memphis. It is well laid out and flows easily. It is predominantly a collection of memorabilia of particular artists and lacks levels detail on those artists that other similar attractions provide.

I was expecting more, but was in and out in less than 30 minutes. The exhibits were nothing special. And Justin Timberlake has been inducted here?!?

We had some time to kill before seeing another attraction and this was close by so we checked it out. We did not get the combo ticket due to time restrictions. There was certainly some cool memorabilia and stage costumes there. We didn’t take time to really listen to the history audio spots that were available to learn more in depth music history. If you are a music and soul enthusiast I’m sure this would add to your Memphis experience. It is a really low cost option at $8.00/pp. they also offer a AAA discount.

Admission is $8 for adults, $6 for youth (5-17). There are also $1 discounts for AAA, AARP and military. There is also a combo rate with the Memphis Rock 'n' Soul Museum, located one block away and developed by the Smithsonian Institution which offers both museums for only $17.
