All but just a few of the albums and 45 records recorded at Stax!
Spend a day examining the more than 2,000 artifacts, items, and memorabilia displayed throughout various exhibits at this world-class museum dedicated to the history of soul music! True soul fans would not want to miss the Stax Museum of American Soul Music, located just 3 miles off of the famous Beale Street. As a recording company whose musical influence can still be felt 30 years after its inception, Stax Records was one of the most popular music labels ever. A modest theater that was converted into a recording studio, Stax Records was instrumental in launching the careers of major pop soul stars Otis Redding, Isaac Hayes, Booker T. & the MGs, and others.

This interactive museum strives to celebrate soul music and tells the story of a neighborhood that became known as Soulsville, USA. This museum has an unrivaled collection of artifacts, photographs, commentary, and pays homage to those artists whose dynamic sounds shaped American soul music. There are over 2,000 exhibits, and music lovers of all ages will leave here enlightened and fascinated with the place that changed the American music scene forever.
