Description:
Open since December 2008 and an anchor to the L.A. LIVE entertainment complex, this four-story museum has interactive exhibits that take you from the creative process to the production of 150 different kinds of music, from pop to jazz, rock to gospel, country and world, to polka, Native American, Hawaiian, blues, hip-hop, opera, and classical. Displays include artifacts like Jennifer Lopez's infamous green Grammy dress, Billie Holiday's costume jewelry, and Leadbelly's prison pardon. There are pods with performance footage and interviews, eight interactive studios where you can mix tracks with some of today's biggest recording producers, and a 200-seat theater that shows short films. You can't possibly see it all in one visit -- except for maybe the die-hard music buffs who will probably never want to leave.
