There is so much to take in at this museum - you need a full day or two half days to absorb everything. This is one of the greatest museums you will ever visit, pertaining to music. This museum is not to be missed!Written on May 26 2011

Description
The GRAMMY Museum explores and celebrates the enduring legacies of all forms of music; the creative process; the art and technology of the recording process; and the history of the GRAMMY® Awards, the premier recognition of recorded music accomplishment.
The GRAMMY Museum, which opened in December 2008, is an exciting and interactive celebration of the power of music. The Museum's four floors of cutting edge experiences, films, and exhibits offer an exciting, multimedia, and interactive celebration of the power of music. This one-of-a-kind visitor experience is engaging, educational, celebratory, and inspirational.
In addition to the regular exhibits, the GRAMMY Museum currently offers the following special exhibitions:
Roland Live (ongoing):
Roland Live gives visitors a chance to participate in the music-making process. By playing electronic musical instruments, guests will have the opportunity to explore and think critically about how today's music is crafted. Among a wide variety of Roland products, visitors will have the chance to interact with V-Drums, BOSS pedals, Handsonic, VIMA keyboards, and the MV-8800 Production Studio.
John Lennon, Songwriter (through September 2011):
This exhibit explores some of the singer/songwriter's early influences (Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, Eddie Cochran, and more); his time with the Quarry Men and the transition into the early Beatles; his songwriting collaborations with Paul McCartney; and his transition from a Beatle to a solo artist/songwriter and his work with Yoko Ono. Artifacts include his guitars, eyeglasses, original drawings, handwritten lyrics and more.
Bob Marley – Messenger (through September 2011): Housed on the Museum's:
second floor, the exhibit focues on Bob Marley as a private, spiritual man, as a powerful performer who used his lyrics to give a voice to the disenfranchised and as a legend who has inspired legions of fans in the 30 years since his death. Bringing together more than 40 diverse artifacts, rare photographs and more, the exhibit features items from the private collection of the Marley family.
Roy Orbison: The Soul of Rock & Roll (through November 2011): Housed on the Museum's fourth floor, the exhibit will explore the life and legacy of music legend and cultural enigma Roy Orbison. The exhibit is launching in celebration of Orbison's 75th birthday year.

Bringing together more than 40 diverse artifacts, rare photographs and more, the exhibit features items from the private collection of Orbison's widow, Barbara and family. On display, visitors will see a wide-ranging array of items, including: Orbison's prescription black-framed sunglasses Handwritten set list, signed by Orbison Several of Orbison's guitars Handwritten lyrics and letters Orbison ticket stubs, concert posters, fan memorabilia And much more, including an exciting selection of biographical films and archived footage
