- Share via
The Grammy Museum’s new exhibit “Hip-Hop: A Cultural Odyssey,” based on a large-format photography book of the same name, explores the genre’s four-decade history in the United States and its effect on the world. Through interactive mixing and listening stations, video footage, rare photographs and original artifacts, visitors will get a taste of what made the first pioneering moments from such auteurs as Grandmaster Flash so appealing. Highlights include handwritten lyrics from Tupac Shakur, LL Cool J’s trademark Kangol hat, the Run-DMC leather jacket and pants worn during the “Walk This Way” performance with Aerosmith and a hip-hop sneaker gallery. Grammy Museum, 800 W. Olympic Blvd. Opens Sat. Through May 4. 11:30 a.m.-7:30 p.m. Mon.-Fri., 10 a.m.-7:30 p.m. Sat.-Sun. https://www.Grammymuseum.org.
