Grew up listening to my parents playing the blues. I was excited to visit the museum. They had some nice state-of-the-art listening equipment to listen the albums. Would love to see their exhibits grow more. Admission is $10 which isnt bad.

Truly a once in a lifetime experience. For Blues fans, this is the Mecca of journeys. The facility was immaculate, the displays were well done and the music was everything you could wish for. There are private listening booths where you can browse through an immense menu of artists and songs for your listening pleasure.

Its nice to see from the outside. We didnt go inside because it was late.

A great place to visit in Memphis. Theres a good catalog of music that you can listen to from the inductees.

This is a quaint museum located on Main Street in downtown Memphis. Across the street from the Civil Rights Museum and walk-able to historic food and blues Beale Street, or adorable renewed street Trolley. The museum is newly renovated, affordable ticket price of $10 for an Adult , The visitor is treated to well curated costumes, instruments, memorabilia to the best of blues. But my highlight was the music digital library and private sound rooms for hours of listening and music history of all the Blues greats. Thank you to Jim the Tuesday volunteer for acclimating me to the museum self tour.

Hall of Fame had only been open for 5 months and initially we thought there was not much to see. How wrong we were! It is very much quality rather than quantity with a little help from technology .I,am not a computer expert however the instructions were so easy to follow meaning that you had so much to the hear,view and enjoy.This is a real bonus if your time is limited.A must place to go to if you are a music fan especially the Blues .The staff were great.Extremely helpful, knowledgeable and friendly.Also, good news if you only have a short stay, The National Civil Rights Museum is nearby plus you can get the 1$ trolley bus back to Downtown.3 wonderful experiences that can be done in one day !! Enjoy

Great self guided tour!

Ok to see if you have time. Think it needs more timelines of blues and why artists were considered as good as they were. But theres a lot of great memorabilia and things to see.

What a fantastic place to see.

Interesting. Free. Worth checking out

Good information, quick self guided tour but its small.

This was a very interesting moment for me, I enjoyed my visit

A very powerful and moving place of historical significance

Interactive and informative museum of blues history. Has displays from many entertainers and venues. Excellent resource which also houses a gift shop and the Blues Foundation offices.

Great information and the art work are amazing.

Awesome place to learn about and listen to American Blues music.

Must stop for Blues lovers. Its not big but has some cool things on display.

Oops, tourist trap. Nothing you cant see or hear on your laptop. Nice desk lady. If we didnt have the internet or if you went back in time 25 years, this place would be amazing.

Very informative. Well researched. Nice, helpful staff.

IF YOU LIKE BLUES YOU MUST VISIT THIS PLACE TOURIST ATTRACTION!!

Its was really cool and u can learn things I even saw my grandfather who played the sa x and really nice people and the prices are reasonable

The interactive exhibit is unique and the perfect way to experience artists not as well known to the masses. Equal attention given to each artist and a beautiful facility. Friendly and helpful people gave me a positive vibe. Worth the $10 admission and a fun way to spend an hour or so.

A great place to learn about the blues genre and history. I highly recommend a visit to this museum if youre in the area. Lots of souvenirs too.

Wish there would have been more things to do, but great place over all.

They had a lot of nice stuff in there but for some reason I expect more. I think they can add more to the history and the evolution of Blues. That said, still cool place to go.

For a $10 cover I expected a bit more, but what was there was well done. I enjoyed the breakdown of sections by era of development and then by instrument, but the transition and the theme of each could be a lot clearer, and the flow could tell a much more coherent story. The computer system for browsing bios and music is excellent, but only if you are already familiar with the artists and have some idea of what you are looking for.If youre already somewhat of a blues aficionado, youll enjoy this. Id like to see it grow into a place that is more beginner-friendly where people can go to be introduced to and learn about the blues.

Loved sitting in the booths to listen to music.

A FIRST TIME BUT MUCH ENJOYABLE & EDUCATIONAL....

Adult Entry: $10. Great experience every time; ALWAYS learning something new when I go. Remarkable auditory full song recordings & written historic accounts, some video recordings too! Unique visuals: timelines, records, books, lyric notes, album jackets, costumes, instruments, figurines, awards, etc. Dont let the small size of this museum fool you, you could spend an entire day here just listening, watching, reading and exploring facts! Look up historic information through touch screen computers via musicians name, song or album, etc. Employees are all super positive at The Blues Hall of Fame!

A must do! So cool with so much history to absorb. A blues lovers paradise.

They need so much more to make this worth your visit!

Amazing exhibits and great staff!

Great for families, couples or solo travelers like myself. Sound booths were amazing! The staff was super friendly and helpful.

Loved the history and displays. Thought there would be more.

Very cool place with unique recordings and memorabilia.

Smaller building but full of content. I could have easily spent hours on end listening to all the music they have archived in this place. Tons of memorabilia to view as well. The people who run the building are very kind and welcoming. Also it is very cheap to enter.

Liked it very much. Its new and the audio set up is great. Exhibits are small and the order of exhibits is not clear.

The man at the entrance was very nice and welcoming. He let me walk around the lobby looking at the collection of photographs. He told me the history of good they said them. Apparently, someone had a while bunch of pictures and was going to throw them away. Instead the museum said they had space to display them and they were presented. I didnt have time to go through the exhibits downstairs.

Very interesting collection of information.

Closed early the day I went. Not good for business.

Definitely a must for any blues fan. Others too. Nice gift shop.

A cool place!

Lots of interesting facts.

Great experience. Give yourself enough time

A Memphis must see. Not only for visitors/tourist but locals. An incredible venue capturing the deep history of the Blues.

This is a small little Museum but the sound booths downstairs with all the different Hall of Fame artists was a lot of fun to sit in and play with. The history and music is amazing and is well worth the price of admission.

Not a lot of displays, but its a relatively new brick and mortar hall, and sure to grow. What they do have is vital displays representing some of the greatest blues artists ever.

If you love the blues, you will appreciate this wonderful tribute to blues women and men at the Blues Hall of Fame. While learning more about inductees, visitors can use interactive touch screens to read bios, watch videos and play full-length tunes that are broadcast over a speaker placed over each display, filling the room with music. As I played by Bobby Blue Bland and Howlin Wolf, a group of seniors came over to say they remembered the songs. The museum also features private listening booths. There is also a literal Hall of Fame with screens showcasing the inductees since 1980, when the Hall was started. Curator Nora Tucker has done a wonderful job putting the displays together, organizing them by genre such as country blues (Mississippi Fred McDowell, Robert Johnson) and city blues (Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon). The staff and volunteers were super friendly and helpful. Thanks Lonnie! The Blues Hall of Fame is housed in a former warehouse that has been beautifully refurbished. The Memphis downtown area, where the hall is located, is also on the come-up with new housing and restaurants. We were able to walk to the Saturday Farmers Market and some shops after visiting the Hall. The National Civil Rights Musuem and the Lorraine Hotel is also located across the street. Overall a fantastic experience that I highly recommend.

Super exciting I love music & this is full of it

This felt more like an exhibit than a museum. Would have liked if they have more of the history of Blues, especially being in Memphis.

Im a proud member. The blues is alive!

Awesome

A small museum with some great memorabilia. Exhibits were organized and the music was great.

Nice overview with interactive displays and memorabilia. Worth the $10 to get in. Hope it keeps growing.

Loved the place. Great experience

A fun walk through blues history. One of the best values in Memphis at only 10 dollars. Run by lovers of the blues, for lovers of the blues.

Great learning experience!

Its interesting, but very sparse number of exhibits.They really need to step it up, and Im a huge blues fan.

What a wonderful place, absolute amazing! Hope to go there some day! I really hope!

Awesome place. Such rich history

I love da blues but u can skip this place. Not much to see.

Amazing little museum to check out the blues and its stories from the Mississippi Delta to the music venues of Memphis! Friendly employees, plenty of stories to learn about, and lots of great songs! Albert King, BB King, John Lee Hooker, Howlin Wolf, Ma Rainey, Muddy Waters, etc. - theyre all covered here!

Not much there. $10 per person. Were there 15 minutes.

Llvely and styles!!

Blues museum in the heart of Downtown Memphis. A must visit for blues and music fans.
