Although the Elvis at 21 exhibit was great, the 4-star rating is more attributable to the Grammy Museum than the exhibit. The Grammy Museum is a wonderful, interactive museum where you can spend hours listening and learning the history of all genres of music. It was a delight to see the costumes and dresses that Beyonce and JLo have worn. I enjoyed the theatre wherein Elvis' performences were being shown. The Elvis at 21 Exhibit was good but more photographs would have made it better.Written on Mar 04 2010

This is a neat place to visit, I had fun and learnt quite a bit I did not know about the music insustry. I did not have a problem with the event it is worth a visist I have a problem with the fact I was ushered out before the museum closed at 7.15pm. Also I bought this ticket a week in advance online only to be told when I got there that there was a private event and "oh you were not to know" and was stopped initially from going into the museum, I should not have been sold the ticket if there was to be a private event going on I felt like a leper being rejected.Written on Jan 29 2010

This is a magnificent museum! When you walk in from the ground level, you are sent to the 4th floor to begin your tour. The 4th floor is a historical walk through different music genres and a couple of other interesting tidbits. The 3rd floor was hands on exhibits and the 2nd floor was the Elvis Exhibit, which was simply inspiring. I'd love to share more, but Goldstar would call it a spoiler...this museum is a MUST SEE. Note that some reviews state that the average time spent in the museum is 90 minutes....This is a DAY long trip. My party spent 2 hours on the 4th floor alone, and then rushed through the rest to avoid a huge parking tab. Plan to spend $25 to park on the premises, enjoy the day and then explore the rest of the LA/Nokia Live complex which has many other offerings including food, drink, movies and Lucky Strike Lanes. Bring a camera, though pictures in the museum itself are not allowed.Written on Mar 14 2010

More Information About Elvis at 21: Photographs by Alfred Wertheimer
Website
http://www.grammymuseum.org/interior.php?section=exhibits&page=...
Description
In 1956, photojournalist Alfred Wertheimer was hired by RCA Victor to shoot promotional images of a recently signed 21-year-old recording artist (Presley), and his instincts to "tag along" with the artist after the assignment resulted in 56 striking images that provide an intimate look at Elvis before he exploded onto the scene and became one of the most exciting performers of all time.
Developed collaboratively by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service (SITES), the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery and the Govinda Gallery, the Elvis at 21 exhibition — sponsored nationally by The History Channel — will travel to museums around the country through 2013 following its premiere at the GRAMMY Museum. During its Los Angeles appearance, Elvis at 21 will be complemented by never-before-seen artifacts, rarely-seen video footage, and exciting public programs.
Artifacts on display will include the first and second guitars Elvis ever played professionally, a handwritten letter from Elvis to a fan, and other unique pieces that, along with the Wertheimer photographs, tell the story of Elvis Presley's rise from young regional star to multimedia rock and roll idol.
Rare 1956 and 1957 Elvis performance footage will be made available in both the exhibit and the GRAMMY Sound Stage, thanks to The Paley Center for Media and the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service. Screening throughout the day, video will include Elvis' memorable 1956 and 1957 appearances on "Stage Show" and "The Ed Sullivan Show."
