The Motown Museum, also known as "Hitsville U.S.A.", is located at 2648 West Grand Boulevard in Detroit, Michigan. This historic site was once the first headquarters and recording studio of Motown, a record label that played a significant role in the racial integration of popular music. The museum is dedicated to preserving the legacy of Motown, its artists, and its music.
Exhibits at the Motown Museum
The Motown Museum is housed in the original Motown headquarters and an adjacent former residence. Visitors can explore a variety of exhibits that showcase the history and success of Motown. These include costumes, photos, and records from the label's golden era. Additionally, the museum features Motown's Studio A and Berry Gordy's upstairs apartment, both of which have been preserved to appear as they did in the 1960s.
Expansion Plans of the Motown Museum
In October 2016, the Motown Museum announced a significant expansion plan. With a budget of $50 million, the plan aims to create additional space for interactive exhibits and recording studios. This expansion will allow the museum to offer an even more immersive and engaging experience for visitors, further preserving and promoting the legacy of Motown.
