My boyfriend and I love some BB King, we made a special trip here last year and still have very fond memories of that day.

A must see when visiting Indianola. We truly enjoyed the time spent and history of the area and his influence. When youre done stop in across the street for snacks at Blue Biscuit.

Nice museum. Everyone should go & see all of the legendary BB Kings history in the museum. The recreation of his recording studio is amazing. Staff is nice.

We only walked around outside since the museum was closed. Id love to visit another time.

I’d been looking forward to this museum since we started planning our road trip. BB King is a music icon that will forever go down in history as the blues king! Come here to learn about his life and career- it brings even more life into the songs I listen to knowing more about him. Few, but knowledgeable staff.

Fascinating historic presentations of the Delta Blues emergence as a cultural phenomenon. BB King was the most popular Blues Music Artist, but the thrill goes on. He was born not far from this site and labored in the .adjacent mill building. Take time to read & learn how he was raised, he wasnt just the King of the Blues; its Worldwide Ambassador, also.If you want to truly be immersed in the musical experience, come during the festival @ the Annual B.B. King Homecoming! ~ Photo = statue in TN Welcome Center, I40 Exit 1, Downtown Memphis.

The museum is amazing but I was mainly impressed by the staff! GAIL ! GAIL IS AMAZING ! I had the pleasure of meeting her and she was so incredible and informed us on the history and life of Mr. King. She made this tour fun and enjoyable. Her energy was off the wall! I love the set up of the museum and how it is self guided. The lovely guide just made it most enjoyable.

If you are or were a pro musician or music fan, allow 2+ hours to simply walk thru, read & listen to these great exhibitsOutstanding music museum (!)Do, however, AVOID the Ebony Club captive restaurant of the Museum ... mediocre food experience even when included as part of your tour (mine was)

Amazing cant wait to take my daddy there

Can I say WOW! This is was an experience walking through the museum and looking at all the history of the blues. It was like taking a step in the past! I got the opportunity to learn how B.B. King grew up and how he named his guitar Lucille and more. If you love music and history then I’d add this to your next trip! Worth it.

This is one of the best museums Ive been to in a long time. Very nice and extremely informative. Super friendly employees.

We totally enjoyed ourselves. Gift shop was reasonably priced and had lots of good stuff. Staff very nice. Couldnt get close to his grave though.

What a heck of an amazing place this is. I was totally overwhelmed with the vast amount of memorabilia and items from BB Kings iconic history. I highly recommend this place and that you allow sufficient time to see all of the exhibits

Well worth the ride! The facility is very modern and clean and the staff could not be more friendly. They take the visitor from childhood to superstar and everywhere in between using mementos from every aspect of B.B.s life and just as he was the museum feels accessible addr though he were there.

Great museum! Went here for the premiere of the Fannie Lou Hamer Find Your Voice Student Film premiere and the location was excellent, the staff was friendly, and the museum was very clean and nice! The pictures are of the room where the film was showcased. Im not sure what the requirements or fees are to use the room, but it was so nice inside there!

Extremely well presented museum and final resting place of The King of The Blues World Wide!

Looked like a nice place... but the corona virus shut them down... still closed 6/12/2020

Good museum for a legend. Very nicely built. Includes a former cotton mill where BB King worked as a kid. There are plans to expand the museum in the near future. Price is slightly high in my opinion. You will need about 1.5 hours. If you can come on certain Thursdays, there is live music. Call ahead and ask about it.

Managed to get in just before the COVID shutdown. This is a first class museum. I learned a great deal about B.B King having always liked his music, but now I know he was a man of character.

Excellent Harvest Host site for overnight RV stop. Museum is worth a visit, learning the history of the Delta Blues and B.B. Kings life.

Learned so much about BBs early years that I never knew.

Another must-visit museum for learning about the blues in the Delta and the gentlemanly B.B. King. Theyre expanding and working on new buildings. Some of the information will be repetitive if youre reading all the info and watching all the videos, but theres always gems. Whenever we stop there, we make a point to help keep his grave site clean. Guitar and piano lessons are available there as well.

Great layout! Goes through his whole life. Loved it! Worth every penny.

Awesome place. Educational and entertaining. Staff is extremely nice. BB would be proud!!! Well worth the trip.

Had a private tour with the COO of the Museum and the Director of the Jus Blues Music Foundation. Got a chance to see the outstanding work the museum is doing plus the plans for growth

Very interesting. Nicely done.

Well done display, lots of good history. It covered some of the early years for BB King well, but it felt like there were gaps I wish they had filled. Feels a bit like a tourist draw than a complete tribute.

Wonderful story, about a great man. Think Ill write a song bout it.

Loved it

So happy I got to share this experience with my 11 year old daughter! This is a place that represents such a vital time in our society & runs MUCH deeper than music! Thanks so much! Got movie The Life of Riley Highly recommend!

You will learn a lot here. I did!

Life and times of bb king, best blues/jazz artist ever. Thought you knew about his life? Go through this museum and find out.

Great place! Lots of history about his life and life in Mississippi as he was growing up

Very informative. I highly recommend a visit. Very well done and managed.

Big fan of the man and the staff were more than friendly

Great visiting the place of a Legend.

A must visit if you claim to love music..

I was here on Sunday Mai 24 2020 and door are closedThey are not open

Was very informative

Absolutely a must see. Fantastic museum showcasing the life of the late BB King. There are extensive artifacts and amazing detail of his life from birth to death. There are many interactive displays which really bring the whole attraction together. Do not miss this tribute to the amazing life of BB King.

An amazing opportunity to get a glimpse into the life of B.B. King. Great audio and visual exhibitions of B.B.s life and music. Gail, one of the museum staff, is a wonderful hoast who makes you feel welcome and starts your visit with a brief presentation on the museum and B.B.A must see for anyone who enjoys Blues music.

It was really right theres so much history in this town I loved it I think so many photographs its unreal

Its a great museum for a great man. The exhibits are instructional and interactive. The self-guided tour takes about 2 hours to complete if you view everything and interact with the interactive components. The gift shop has reasonable prices. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Be sure to leave a donation.

Best Blues Museum yet

This is fantastic! This is the man who birthed the blues. Dont miss it.

OMG. This place was so cool and so informative. Not only about BB King but the experiences of him and his band went through during there travels.

A must see!!

An awesome museum! Great tribute, to a great man. What a wonderful man BB King was.

Great museum! Amazing musician and life. B.B King

Even better than I expected. Dont miss the display on progression of blues musicians to the modern era (listen on headphones to their music and then how it influenced specific artists and songs) we spent over 4 hours. Great price with the Groupon too... See if its still available

Great museum that explains B.B. king life very well. Great museum

This Memorial of the king of Blues it was life changing for me. And I say the delta blues spirit is well and alive and its worldwide by the power of the holy spirit of God. It is my earnest prayer that the museum will open up a small little music store for the children that can afford a piece of instrument to play music to God like BB King did Amen in Jesus name.

Fun and interesting

If you like blues and BB King, it a good museum and tribute.

Very nice and clean, videos to watchLearn a lot

A must-see for any BB King fan, or blues fan. Great staff, great exhibits, very informative, pleasant atmosphere.

It is a really good museum!! I highly recommend it even if you dont know much about BB King. It is highly educational and entertaining. It was remarkably done. We spent about 2 hrs and we read everything and did everything! Really good

Beautiful exhibits. Well worth the trip!

It was nice. Here you make your own fun by interacting with the Band at BB Kings Blues Club. The food alright not the greatest but g9id if you hungry. No free parking but it is a controled security area for parking for tourists, etc. where theres then plenty walking down Beale Sreet to patronize blues clubs, and sight seeing for all Beale Street businesses. It is all the way live music that makes you feel good with that Down Home Blues. I really enjoyed my visit as Im from Chicago and Chicago loves the Blues.

Very well put together museum that covers B.B. Kings life. It makes good use of artifacts and videos to supplement the placards and pictures.

If you are a lover of the Blues and the blues heritage then you must go here. Rich rich history and also the final resting place for blues great BB King

A must see for all, blues & BB King fans..with hands on multi-media, videos, photographs, memorabilia, located in BBs home of Indianola, MS.

It was a good place to go. I enjoyed it..

The best place to visit...amazing things about The King of Blues

A great museum. I learnt so much

I love the way they displayed BB King life

Such a great homage to the King of the blues. The exhibit is beautiful, punctuated with videos and artifacts. The text isnt heavy and is easy to read. We follow his career and also get contextual information. His grave is next to the building and his tour bus parked outside.

Great place. Long Live B.B.

Gayle was the Best host!!! I Loved the Museum.!!

Not open!

Wow, wow, wow! I didnt even know I liked BB King nor how very talented he was until I visited this museum. Very nicely arranged with lots of brief but engaging videos, pictures, artifacts, and writings sharing BBs life story in a respectful manner. It hasnt been updated since his death, however, other than the fact that his burial place is on the grounds for people to visit.

Great experience. Cool films and collection. A window into a Blues legend.

Very informative alot of BB King personal items and alot of history

Good time

Excellent place to revisit BB King all sorts of memorabilia watch the great film of his early days visited his grave

Its a great tribute setup for B B King there who tells a great story about his life I enjoyed it very much everyone should go check it out

If you love blues go to this museum

A lot of great memories from the legend Mr. B.B. King. A wonderful place for the entire family to visit.

Friendly and helpful people. The museum is really great and informative

Good place to go

Showcasing the history of the legendary B B King. From birth, to his humble musical beginnings to his rise to international Fame. Must see.for any fan of the blues.

A truly great and Hidden Gem. A great place to learn about BB King and also the conditions that he lived in while here in Mississippi. Would recommend to anyone even if they are not a fan of BB King.

It was interesting but still in the development stages

Awesome ...Must see

Incredible! Two and a half hours never went by so fast.... This is a WORLD CLASS museum! Its an amazing tribute to the blues boys talent and rich history. A MUST SEE!

This is a wonderful museum. I learned a lot about B. B. King

This was a bucket list item for me. A beautiful museum and BB Kings burial place , all on the same grounds. A blues lovers must visit destination.

Simple. Tasteful. Staff is pleasant. Well worth stopping by for fans of the King or the blues in general.

Loved looking through the history

Neat place

Great museum preserving BBs legacy

This place was incredible! A lot of history to learn and very good attention to detail.

Great tribute to the King. So glad we made the effort, its a wonderful Museum.He projected his sound profoundly to all of us that have been fortunate enough to see and hear him live!Thanks BB!

A real pleasant surprise. Very well put together and you could spend an hour or all day there and come away feeling a lot closer to the man and his roots.

We love and miss Mr. Riley B King. This is real fine and wonderful tribute to Mr. King and a good historical perspective on the civil Rights movement at the time.

Learned so much

I loved it....everyone was so nice and helpful.

It was closed

Excellent place in blues history. Staff is friendly and I learned a lot.
