In recent years, popular music museums have been established in
high profile locations in many of the presumed "musical capitals"
of the world, such as Los Angeles, Liverpool, Seattle, Memphis, and
Nashville. Most of these are defined by expansive experiential
infrastructures centered around spectacular, high-tech displays of
varying sizes and types. Through over-the-top acts of display,
these museums influence and reflect the values and priorities in
the public life of popular music. This book examines the phenomenon
of the popular music museum outside the typical and familiar frames
of heritage and tourism. Instead, it looks at these institutions as
markers of the broader entertainment industry in the era of its
rise to global dominance. It highlights the multiple manifestations
of power as read across a range of institutions and material forms
and discusses how this contributes to shaping the experience of
popular culture.
