| - Love! It's not often I spend 4 hours in a museum and find myself completely immersed the entire time. Admittedly, I tend to get a little restless in museums, but the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was amazing!
Admission is about $23 and worth every penny! The first floor had the most exhibits and I probably spent at least 90 minutes getting lost in the stories of music, artists, costumes...and even practicing my singing skills thanks to Graham Nash's singing booth!
The second floor went by quick and the third floor had a long, long video with inductees to the hall of fame. I didn't stay for the whole video, but watched at least 30-40 minutes of it and enjoyed it (just wish the seating was a bit more comfortable). The cafe on the third floor is fine, very basic foods...soup, peanut butter and jelly, etc. I had a yogurt parfait and a coffee and was fine. It's nice to sit by the window and watch the airplanes approach into Lake Burkefront airport!
The highlights for me:
- Letters that Madonna wrote when she was in college (so cool!)
- Learning more about how punk/metal came about and "grunge." I feel like I had so much to learn about music history and the museum was a nice refresher!
- Graham Nash's singing booth!
- The effect of MTV and now Apple on the music industry
- Learning more about some of my favorite artists.
Love the building, love the exhibits. It's a really fun museum. Rock on, Cleveland!
