Tietoa
Nopeat faktat: Terra cotta towers ripple across the facade in a tribute to sound waves, while inside sit more than 2,000 instruments and artifacts, including roughly 300 rare pieces once played by music legends. Five stories of hands-on exhibits let visitors loop beats, mix tracks, and cradle one-of-a-kind guitars that most museums would keep locked behind glass.
Kohokohdat: Inside the complex sits the lovingly restored King Edward Hotel, the grimy downtown dive where generations of punk and country bands cut their teeth, original neon sign and all. Its tiny stage still hosts live gigs, so you can catch a show in the very room where countless indie acts first turned up their amps.
