This flashy museum explores blues legends like hometown hero Chuck Berry, while making a strong case for the genre's myriad influences on modern rock, folk, R&B and more. There are interactive exhibits from the likes of Jack White, and interesting stories about the early years of blues and its (almost exclusively female) pioneers.
