Loved the self tour. You don't have to wait for people to move. You can move to the next spot and come back to it.

This place is amazing!If you are into the blues or rock and roll scene, this place is a must. Fascinating to see the roots and origin of blues, and the crossover into rock and roll. Also, if you are planning to go to Graceland or Sun studios or Staxx, it's worth asking about the backstage pass.
The Memphis Rock ‘n’ Soul Museum’s exhibition about the birth of rock and soul music, based on one created by the Smithsonian Institution in 2000, tells the story of musical pioneers who, for the love of music, overcame racial and socio-economic barriers to create the music that shook the entire world.
Open Daily 10:00 am - 5:00 pm
Other Information
Best for Museums Because: It started as a traveling exhibition about the roots of American music, and found a permanent home at the foot of Beale Street.
Best for Attractions near FedExForum Because: The Rock 'n' Soul Museum is literally part of the Forum - so it's the easiest way to get educated on Memphis music history.
