Last time I was back home visiting family in Cleveland, Ohio, I took Beulah to some of the local sites, including the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Museum. I had actually not been to the museum since it opened back in 1995, so I was looking forward to going back and seeing how it had changed. It was, of course, a beautiful grey day on the lake in Cleveland, Ohio when we arrived, but we took a couple minutes to admire the rock hall architecture, and of course, took a couple pictures at the Long Live Rock sign.
We entered the museum and were immediately greeted by an overwhelming amount of rock ‘n’ roll memorabilia. We decided to start on the lower level and make our way through rock ‘n’ roll history. Many of the exhibits had been there since the museum opened, but this was not a disappointment at all, especially for B who had not ever been there before.
It’s pretty amazing to be able to see the guitars and apparel worn by classic artists like Elvis, Buddy Holly, and instruments played by Prince, Johnny Cash, and Jimmy Page. There was also a really neat Cleveland rocks exhibit with local music history – something that definitely has extra meaning to somebody from the mistake on the lake.
The current special exhibit was revolutionary women in music. Bee was excited to check out some of the costumes and equipment from many of the women from the 70s to today.
We also took a minute to go into one of the jam rooms where Beulah practiced her best bass face while slapping the strings. Check out those snakeskin boots.
We absolutely recommend going to the museum if you’re ever in town, or if you’re lucky enough catch one of the live concerts often held there or even the induction ceremony for the next year‘s class!
