Additionally, the museum will release educational content and lesson plans via its website and digital platforms during the closure, as well as sharing daily playlists and thoughts curated by its staff.
“At the Grammy Museum, we believe that music has the power to bring us together, strengthen our sense of community and drive us forward — especially in times when it feels like we are being pulled apart. We believe at its core, everything that we do is to better our community through music,” said Michael Sticka, Grammy Museum president. “The Grammy Museum’s doors may be closed, but our mission isn’t.”
