Memphis Music Hall of Fame

The Memphis Music Hall of Fame Museum is a new, interactive, ever-changing museum which presents personal, never-before-seen belongings, interviews and artifacts from the official Hall of Fame inductees who changed the world and placed Memphis on the world map.

Exhibits

If you want to know Memphis Music, the best source is directly from the mouths and the memorabilia of Memphis’ musical legends. Unique and personal memorabilia from Elvis, Howlin’ Wolf, Johnny Cash, Justin Timberlake, B.B. King and dozens of other inductees. See Jerry Lee Lewis’ custom Cadillac and Isaac Hayes’ organ from Stax Records, view interviews and see performances from Sam Phillips, The Staple Singers, ZZ Top and more. Test your knowledge of Memphis’ music or world-changing lyrics. Plus, each year, as new musical legends are inducted into the Memphis Music Hall of Fame, the exhibit changes and expands just in time for your next visit!
