This 28,000-square-foot music museum sits on the Delta State University campus and opened in 2016. Self-guided exhibits cover GRAMMY history, the move from mono to surround sound, historic instruments and a Mississippi Gallery devoted to the state's musicians. Touch screens and interactive stations let you join in, and the Sanders Soundstage hosts performances. The corrugated metal exterior and big front porch nod to Delta buildings.
