Grammy Museum Mississippi Opens Today

Grammy Museum Mississippi Opens Today

About two hours south of Memphis in the Mississippi Delta, you can now take an extensive, high-tech dive into Grammy music history - with a focus on Mississippi artists. Many of those just happen to have ties to Memphis.

I went down to Cleveland, Miss. yesterday and got a first look before the Grammy Museum Mississippi opened to the public today. In short: it's absolutely worth a road trip from Memphis. There are exhibits on Grammy history, in-depth information on Grammy winners, hours of things to listen to and watch, and more interactive . Here are a few photos and the basic information.
