Rave On: Rock and Roll’s Early Years

Rave On pays tribute to the pioneers who created the sound and style of rock and roll, including Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Fats Domino, the Everly Brothers, the Coasters, Buddy Holly, the Drifters, songwriters and producers Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, among others (Elvis Presley is not represented in this exhibit as he is the subject of an individual performer focus unit).

Set into a curved wall evoking a mid-20th Century diner, the exhibit includes original costumes, vintage posters, guitars and other instruments, lyric manuscripts, sheet music and other documents.
