Visit The Songwriters Hall Of Fame® New Exhibit Curated By The GRAMMY Museum®!!

The Songwriters Hall of Fame Songwriting Experience celebrates the work and legacy of the Songwriters Hall of Fame and explores the mysteries behind the making of great music. Through graphic panels, artifact displays, and interactive experiences, the exhibition examines the songwriter’s creative process, tells the stories of great songwriters – all of whom are members of the Songwriters Hall of Fame – and digs deep into the great compositional works that make up the American music treasury. Curated by the Los Angeles-based GRAMMY Museum, the exhibit also uncovers the creative process of some of the Hall of Fame’s most revered songwriters and sheds light on many of their masterworks.   

Exhibit Highlights:
