Where Rock Lives

By Linda Tancs

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, sometimes simply referred to as Rock Hall, is a museum and hall of fame located in downtown Cleveland, Ohio. The only museum devoted to the story of rock and roll, it’s particularly known for its ceremony honoring hall of fame inductees, whose stories are showcased in the museum through immersive displays. Boasting the most impressive collection of memorabilia ever assembled, the 150,000 square-foot museum features seven floors and four theaters for films as well as temporary, traveling installations. And, in case you were wondering, Cleveland DJ Alan Freed is credited with coining the term “rock ‘n’ roll” on his radio show in 1951.
