See tons of memorabilia, photographs, performance costumes, original recording machines, artwork.....and Studio A, where all the great 60's Motown tunes were recorded.

The building was the former home of Berry Gordy Jr., who turned his house into the now-famous Motown recording studios....you'll also see Gordy's original furniture on display. Why? I don't know...but it's there...and it includes his old dining room table which he used as his "shipping department."

Go, take pictures and let us see 'em!
