This museum may be small, but it’s definitely a very enjoyable place to visit! 😊 It usually takes around an hour to walk through the exhibits with a guide, which makes the experience even better. Our guide was fantastic — very engaging, fun, and full of interesting stories that really brought the history to life. 📚✨ As we moved through the museum, it honestly felt like stepping back into that time period.
I truly loved the experience and learned a lot, but I do hope that one day the museum will expand and include even more items from this fascinating era. It would be amazing to see more historical clothing, unique artifacts, and maybe even some classic cars from that time. 🚗
Don’t get me wrong — the visit was wonderful and I really enjoyed it. I just wished there was a little more to explore because when you’re having such a great time, it’s hard to stop and leave! 😄

Even though it’s local, this had been on my bucket list for a long time as I'm a huge fan of Motown music. It was absolutely worth it. The history speaks for itself, but seeing it in person is something special.
The museum is small, but great! I'd recommend getting tickets in advance but the museum is actually going to be closing for a while in 2026 to start preparing for the new building to open. The tour is filled with fascinating facts about Motown Records. Walking through the original studios and seeing the memorabilia exactly as it was during Motown’s peak is incredibly moving. Learning how it all came to be was so cool.
The tour guide Tyra was AMAZING. She was friendly, engaging and filled with soul! If you’re hesitant to go, don’t be. The hour long tour flew by and was absolutely worth it.

Pure history! highly recommended. By tickets in advance is a MUST. In 2024 i tried to walked-in 4 tickets and they were sold out!. This year 2025 i got my tickets in advance through the web site and it was easy and affordable. There are guided tours only but they give you enough time and space to walk around, enjoy the exhibits and take pictures. No videos allowed. Street park and highly get the app before your arrial time, i had luck and found a free parking spot in a nerby street. You can feel the history in this walls, it is an amazing life experience. I dont recall the name of my guide but he was so easy going, fun, entretained, the best.
