Featured EXHIBIT

Permanent Exhibit

Listening stations, touch screen interactives, custom mixing boards, and the John H. Baker Film Collection compliment a year-round display of artifacts, graphics, and commissioned artwork. Some highlights include Charlie Parker’s Grafton saxophone, a sequined gown worn by Ella Fitzgerald, and two rotating gallery spaces: the Ida McBeth Changing Gallery & the Ron Chaney Gallery.

Featured EXHIBIT

The Changing Gallery

Since the museum's inception in 1997, The Changing Gallery near the front of the museum's entrance displays work centered around jazz, baseball, and the history of the 18th & Vine District. Local gallery partnerships, museum anniversaries, & Smithsonian traveling exhibits are a handful of the high quality educational experiences offered to visitors. Great for both locals and out of town patrons.
