Few forms of American music can claim a history as long, as tradition-rich, and as complex as the Blues. Since its origins in the Deep South long ago, the Blues has been a bedrock for virtually all American popular music of the last hundred-plus years.

The National Blues Museum explores the Blues and celebrates the genre as the foundation of all modern American music. The museum educates guests in an entertaining environment that includes high impact technology driven experiences, a state-of-the-art theater, artifact-driven exhibits and robust public programming. Live performances in the museum's Lumiere Place Legends Room are generally scheduled every Thursday, Friday, and Sunday.

The National Blues Museum is a US 501(c)(3) organization, and the only museum dedicated exclusively to preserving and honoring the national and international story of the Blues and its impact on American culture in the United States.
