The most interesting music museums in the world that you might not know about (9 photos)

These are unique and historical venues where the entire musical “cuisine” of artists is presented: how they searched for their direction, how they created famous hits and what instruments they played.





The Beatles Story (Liverpool, UK)



One of the main attractions of Liverpool, where you can learn the whole history of the legendary four.

Museum of Pop Culture (Seattle, USA)





One of the most visited public places in Seattle with an unusual design and interesting content. It is dedicated to the study of creativity, and not only of pop groups and performers: here you can learn about all directions - from the first steps of Metallica to the tremendous success of Prince's "Purple Rain".

Stax Museum of American Soul Music (Memphis, USA)



On their website there is a proud inscription: “The only museum in the world dedicated strictly to American soul music.” That’s right - there are a lot of records, costumes and instruments of soul musicians collected there. Nowhere in the world will you find a more complete and interesting collection.

ABBA Museum (Stockholm, Sweden)



Everyone has heard at least one of their songs. But not everyone is familiar with their history: how the group was born, how they looked for lyricists, how they worked with instrumentals. There is even information about why they performed in strictly defined costumes and from whom they ordered them. In general, the group was dismantled inside and out.

Bob Marley Museum (Kingston, Jamaica)



Their residences turned into a museum and literally put their soul into it. There is even his old recording studio there - not to mention the costumes and instruments of the famous artist.

Handel & Hendrix in London (London, UK)



Two great musicians and composers lived in the house at 25 Brook Street in London: George Handel and Jimi Hendrix. They were separated by two centuries and completely different views on music. And later this residence was turned into a luxurious museum.

Graceland (Memphis, USA)



This is the former residence of Elvis Presley and one of the most famous rock and roll museums in the world. The amazing atmosphere of those years has been preserved there, and Elvis’s grave is located in the garden. So it’s not in vain that 750,000 people come there every year.

Edith Piaf House Museum (Paris, France)



The museum is located in an apartment and is run by a fan and friend of the famous singer. There you can admire her costumes, listen to archival recordings and even read her letters.
