The proposed world-class cultural attraction located in downtown St. Louis is focused on education, entertainment and community involvement. With 25,000 square feet of programming space, a 100-seat theater as well as technology and artifact-driven exhibits, the National Blues Museum will explore the Blues and celebrate the genre as the root of all modern American music.

The National Blues Museum is a 501(c)(3) cultural institution.
“The blues are as deeply American – and as deeply human – as just about any form of music that we've got in this country. This music wraps all of our emotions – whether it's love and loss, joy and sorrow, heartbreak and celebration – it wraps it all into an art form that stirs our souls and it helps us rise above all our struggles.”
– Michelle Obama At the Crossroads: A History of the Blues in America, Feb. 21
The museum will become the epicenter for discovery and enrichment for those seeking to learn more about the people, places and happenings that surrounded the birth of the Blues and modern American music as we know it today.
