I’ve been to the Grammy Museum three times so far. It’s very well done and I like the fact that the main exhibit changes. I’ve seen the Taylor Swift exhibit, and more currently, Jermaine Dupri and So So Def. Both were awesome! At the entrance, there’s a theater with a roughly 20 – 25 minute film showing various Grammy performances. It’s really good and is updated each year with new performances.
This museum takes interaction to another level. Neyo has a video where he teaches you some dance moves. It’s really fun! A local line dancing group also has a video teaching line dancing. That video needs some work in my opinion. There are also some sound booths were you can record a track lol. It’s super fun AND I’ve actively seen the staff going around sanitizing the equipment. Two thumbs up for that! There’s a DJ booth and various instruments/microphones that you can play and sing on. My favorite part of the museum is at the end. You’ll see all of the Grammy folks who either came from Mississippi or spent a good part of their life in Mississippi. This is a must see museum if you’re ever...
Read moreThe town is small & still after all these years mostly "segregated" 😡 With its history i found it very surprising to come across this museum which features alot of black blues & rock historians. The exhibits were very informative.

To remove the "obvious continuous means of sustaining a color line that surrounds this lil racist town".
I want to express an enormous thank you to all that was envolved in the planning & desire to pick this town to build this museum there. I pray it serves its purpose to educate those who visit...
Read moreI felt like a kid on a field trip! I only wish I had more time to enjoy it. It was a wonderful experience. The self guided tour begins with a stop at the soundstage where you watch and listen to some of the most wonderful Grammy performances during the past 20-30 years. You learn goe and why the Grammy came to be including seeing what they look like from inception to present. They represent all genres, cover notable fashion choices, instruments, sound quality through the years from the gramophone to vinyl, cassette tape to surround sound. There are even rooms set up to record a duet with Keb Mo and an area of instruments available to have a jam session. And of course MS artists, musicians and songwriters are highlighted throughout the museum. It's a wonderful time waiting for you to come and explore it. The gift shop is full of items to...
