Rock'n'popmuseum

The rock'n'popmuseum in Gronau is a music-focused building with exhibitions, films, sound installations, and original instruments and costumes from well-known artists. The spaces are designed so visitors can touch, listen, and experiment to explore the world of popular music.

The building houses the legendary Can-Studio, where the Krautrock band Can recorded eight albums in the 1970s and shaped the German music scene. This historic site was later converted into a museum to preserve the artistic work and innovations of that era.

The museum shows how rock and pop developed in Germany and around the world, highlighting German artists and their influences on music. Here visitors experience a place where music history becomes tangible and different generations can reconnect with their favorite music.

Visitors can explore the museum most days, with longer opening hours on certain days. The spaces are arranged so you can walk through the exhibitions at your own pace, and there are various stations where you can try things out.

Visitors can shoot their own music videos in the Greenbox studio, choosing from a large collection of songs and using provided costumes. This interactive experience lets people stage themselves as music stars.
