News: LA Gets Its Own GRAMMY Museum

Los Angeles December 2, 2008 | 4:01 PM Categories: Industry, Live, News, Rock/Pop, Soul/R&B
The massive AEG campus in downtown continues to expand. In addition to the Staples Center, Club Nokia, the Nokia Theater and the Conga Room (and a bowling alley with the strictest dress code I've ever seen), it's now home to the Grammy Museum. It's only fitting that a museum of an award show ends up in Los Angeles.

Full info about all the opening events after the jump...
But this being the Grammy museum, they can't just open it. There's got to be celebration. So, on Wednesday, there's a concert / Grammy Nomination party at the Nokia Theater. The actual Grammy awards aren't until February, but the nominations are on Wednesday. At the party ou'll get performances from Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Foo Fighters, B.B. King, John Mayer, and Taylor Swift. After the nomination, Mayer will put on an hour-long solo set. After his set the crowd can roll over to Club Nokia where a reunited Morris Day and the Time will play a full set. That's actually pretty cool. Who doesn't like Ice Cream Castles? You can still get tickets for this event (at reduced prices, even), here.

Then on Friday, the official ribbon cutting ceremony takes place, hosted by Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. Apparently only a select group of school children get to go into the museum on Friday, guided by a group of "celebrity docents." That's fine. Outside in the Nokia campus courtyard they'll be touching off a new nightly lightshow called Light of the Angels.

Finally, on Saturday, the museum opens to the public. Apparently it's full of some state-of-the-art interactive exhibits that actually sound pretty cool. There's some history of the academy as well as music in general, with all sorts of listening stations. There's also a 200-seat theater where they'll host discussions as well as bands. Tickets cost 15 bucks for adults and you can buy them ahead of time at ticketmaster (with a 3 dollar service charge). You have to select a time though, which is kind of complicated. The museum sends groups in every fifteen minutes and expect guests to stay about 90 minutes. You can buy tickets at the door though.
