Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Music museum in Downtown Cleveland, United States.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a music museum in downtown Cleveland along the shore of Lake Erie. The building was designed by I. M. Pei and rises through seven floors within a glass pyramid.
Cleveland was chosen by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation in 1985 after the city contributed financially to the construction. The museum opened its doors to visitors in 1995.
The building displays clothing, instruments and personal items from musicians who shaped rock music across different decades. Visitors can trace how styles and forms of expression evolved over time.
Visitors can explore interactive exhibits and browse the music library, where books and audio recordings are accessible. It is advisable to plan several hours to cover all seven floors.
During induction ceremonies, established musicians gather and honor new members through collaborative performances and tribute concerts. These events connect different generations and musical styles together.
