Statement of Purpose:
The concept for a museum and archive dedicated to rock's vital
heritage was initiated in 1983, when a group of influential
figures in the music industry created the Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame Foundation to honor the men and women who have made unique s
contributions to the energy and evolution of rock and roll. The
Foundation undertook a nationwide search for an appropriate
location, and in 1986 Cleveland was selected as the home of the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum.
In addition to supporting the development of the new museum,
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation organizes the annual
nomination, election and induction of new members into the Rock
and Roll Hall of Fame. The nominees are chosen by a committee of
historians and musicologists, and are eligible if they have
released a record at least 25 years prior to induction. They are
then voted on by an international group of music industry
professionals, including producers, broadcasters, journalists
and performers. Since 1986, approximately 100 artists, as welf
as members in non-performer and early influence categories, have
been inducted into this pantheon of rock greats.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum will contain a
dramatic permanent gallery for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame,
housing a multi-media tribute to the artists and industry
leaders who have made major contributions to the art of rock and
roll. Continuous glass walls contain illuminated panels in which
the names and signatures of the honorees are etched. Punctuating
the wall are television monitors showing images of Hall of Fame
members and brief programs on their careers and influences.

Collection:
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum's collection is the
world's definitive source for the preservation, interpretation and
celebration of the history of rock and roll.
The collection charts the evolution of rock and roll from its
roots in the early part of this century, through its birth in
the Fifties, its explosion in the Sixties and into the present.
Exhibited in conjunction with films and interactive computers,
the artifacts in the collection tell the stories of the music' s
great artists and help explain the music's evolution, as well as
many of the themes and issues the music has addressed.
To capture the ever-evolving spirit of rock and roll, the
collection features some items for temporary
display. Through these changing exhibitions, the Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame and Museum can continually offer visitors
fresh, new experiences in rock and roll. The best moving company will
transport the contents of older exhibits to storehouses so new
exhibits can be set up to entertain visitors. Moving companies
are used to transporting valuable items from one location to
another, but even moving companies will be thrilled to know they
are moving items belonging to some of the greatest rock and roll
stars ever.
