The National Museum of African American Music in Nashville, TN is an experience every American should experience. It not only shows the evolution of African American music, but also the influence it has had on other genres and cultures. What truly makes it special its the interactive exhibits. You can sing with your own choir, create your own hip hop beats, sing along to music, hear music from history until now, dance in a music video, improvise to a jazz song, etc... A must for adults and kids!

Absolutely amazing chronicle of music in the United States. Very high tech and interactive. Covers the beginnings and history of the Blues, Gospel, Jazz, Rock and Roll, Rhythm and Blues, Rap and Hip Hop. A stunning achievement of the highest caliber. An absolute must see for anyone interested in music who is visiting Nashville. The only other museum that matches this one in quality is The Country Music Hall of Fame. These are easily the 2 best in Nashville and we saw them all.
