Such an awesome experience and a real gem to the Chattanooga community. You will be hard pressed to find a more passionate community of musicians that not only spends a tremendous amount of time preserving music and music history, but ones that are encouraging the youth in music. Absolutely love this place and highly recommend it to anyone!

Such an awesome experience. Would out on the very top of your list of things to do in Chattanooga! Reviews were mixed so we weren’t really sure what to expect but the museum exceeded our expectations and then some! Beautiful museum-clean, well organized, informative with a lot of interactive exhibits. My 14 year old who’s very into guitars absolutely loved it. He was so intrigued throughout. Said of things we did in Chattanooga (Ruby Falls, Incline Railway, and Rock City) this was by far his favorite. While I’m not as in to music as he is, I also found it interesting and enjoyed the historical knowledge there and learning more about Chattanooga’s history too. Clean, modern space with polite, knowledgeable staff. Lovely bathroom facilities. And can’t beat it for $15! We spent about 3 hours enjoying the museum. I’d recommend allowing at least 2 but honestly, even if you’ve just got an hour it’s worth the visit! Oh, and some other reviews mentioned the vault wasn’t open- it’s open now and it’s super cool!

Need to visit again to read and listen to everything. Needs 3-4 visits to absorb it all. Love the interactive exhibits! The spotify integration is legit and adds a huge layer of depth to the experience. Really a place for music lovers and enthusiasts. An absolute must visit

Great experience! Slightly smaller than expected however we still spent two and a half hours reading the information and learning about the music scene in Chattanooga as well as all of the great informational exhibits regarding sound, music and the history of some famous players.

Nice, but not much to see for the price of a ticket. Apparently, the museum used to have a much larger collection that has been returned to the owners. The exhibit has educational materials on the principles of sound, pick-up and amplification but very limited. Look for a coupon on any promotional maps.

Very cool experience! We got the general admission tickets so we did the "self-guided" tour. This is an incredible collection of vintage guitars that all made history in some way or another. They have a guided tour if you want that includes other parts of the building, but we enjoyed just walking through their main displays. Highly recommend it, especially if you're a guitar player!

This is one of the best guitar places I have been to. Do the tour with Brian. I was lucky enough to be the only one on the tour at that time and learned so much. I showed him my guitar builds and talked a bit more. So glad I went to this Incredible place. I'm bringing the family next time through. Hats off to you all.
