Women Who Rock: Vision, Passion, Power May 17 - August 17, 2014
A groundbreaking interactive exhibit, direct from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
On its final U.S. tour stop, Women Who Rock is a collection of must-see memorabilia from the most-recognized women in rock and roll history.
Immerse yourself in the greatest show-stopping moments from the Queen of Soul, the Mother of Punk and the Divas of Pop. Aretha. Madonna. Mahalia. Janis and more. Relive the soundtrack of your life.
This is the closest you’ll get to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame without actually being there. From Joan Jett’s infamous black leather jacket to Chrissie Hynde’s sassy blue Fender and even Lady Gaga’s notorious meat dress, this is a dazzling backstage pass to rock’s most memorable eye candy and the women of rock’s most significant contributions. Joni Mitchell’s handwritten lyrics are here, too and Patti Smith’s famed clarinet.
Don’t just look. Add a piece of yourself. Step into our recording booth, hit “record” and leave behind your own thoughts and reflections for posterity.
More than attitude. More than music.
This is history for your ears. At Henry Ford Museum®.
This exhibit is presented by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum.
This exhibit is filled with more than 250 sensational artifacts including:
Joan Jett’s black leather jacket
Chrissie Hynde’s sassy blue Fender
