Motown Museum
Detroit, Michigan
Many music museums exist in grand, purpose-built buildings, or otherwise in whatever space they can find. Which makes the Motown Museum pretty unique. It's housed in Motown's historic Hitsville U.S.A. offices, meaning you learn about the history of Motown Records — and the legendary artists it produced — in the same place that history was made. Highlights include the Control Room where the producers worked, Studio "A" where talented musicians like Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, The Temptations, and The Supremes recorded their songs, and the restored apartment where Motown's founder Berry Gordy Jr. and his family lived.
