This is a neat little store/museum started by a Dutch Blues fan. It's $5.00 for a look at a big collection of posters, facts, stories, and lots of pictures and records of the history of blues in Clarksdale. They even show a documentary made about the store, basically made by a fan because he loves blues so much! The lady at the front desk was super nice and gave us a little introduction to the museum, she also shared some funny anecdotes, and even recommend some restaurants. They have a really cool collection of records and its well organized and shows the progression of the music.
Really good collection of memorabilia. In the heart of town and looks just like a shop. Don't be fooled, it is a mine of information and was far more comprehensive than the Delta Blues Museum I thought. Better value for money too. We did both and I would pass on the Delta museum.
Nice little museum! Inexpensive admission, very nice tour guide. Lots to see & read. Parking is on the street, no designated parking. Was fun to tour.
This is fun. We spent a few hours in here. This is an exhibition of a personal collection. The guy had spent YEARS assembling this and now he is sharing it with the world. Lots and Lots and Lots of music memorabilia from decades of music. There is even original artwork by John Lennon on display. The fee is cheap and well worth it!
Fronted by a nice wee music shop this is a great little museum offering a maze of records and memorabilia from the 1920/30s up until the death of John Lennon.We were met by a lovely lady on the counter who offered to look after our bags while we wondered round. But first she took the time to give us a very comprehensive intro to the museum, including some local facts and about the owner, who's a Dutchman with US citizenship who'd came to Clarksdake and fell in love with the place.If you love popular music come to go visit - it'll be worth it.
Clarksdale is THE place to be or start your blues trip! North,South, East or West, you always HIT the blues to day as well as its rich history!
I'll go back to see what I missed in a 2 1/2 hour visit. This place is full of musical treasures from around the world.
We were not expecting a whole lot when we went in. Boy were we wrong! We were able to see associations to almost every one of our favorite artists from the 60's to the 90's. A great experience.
Lots of history. I've traveled Europe and South East Asia but there's nothing like US history. There was nothing that discouraged me from my quest of discovering the south.
You will not believe what lies within this storefront museum! Chock full of Delightful Blues to Beatles stories. Do not miss.
