SXSW Music Panel: Does Rock and Roll Belong in a Museum?

Austin Convention Center, Austin TX

The Rock Hall will ask ‘Does Rock and Roll Belong in a Museum?’ at the SXSW Music Festival in 2010. Initially, many thought the idea of the Rock Hall was antithetical to the spirit of rock and roll. Despite its success, the question of whether rock and roll belongs in a museum persists. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum’s panel will address the relevance, importance and future of the preservation and education about this art form.

The Museum maintains an active schedule of events and exhibitions. The Hall of Fame Series brings inductees to small audiences for discussions about their lives, a period for questions from the audience and, often, live performances. In addition, lectures, films, panel discussions and performances are scheduled throughout the year. Several times a year the Museum mounts temporary exhibitions, including everything from block-buster shows to intimate photography displays.

All events are subject to change.
