New Permanent Exhibit Coming to the GRAMMY Museum

If free admission for kids wasn’t enough to entice a future visit to the GRAMMY Museum, a new permanent exhibit will soon open in late January. Sonic Playground will feature 17 interactive music experiences. 

Visitors can test the roles of different music industry professions, ranging from rapper, singer, voice actor, music supervisor, and more, to gain insight into music industry career paths. Sonic Playground is for guests of all ages to explore, create, and play through music. 

The 2025 GRAMMY Awards 

While Los Angeles faces the aftermath of recent devastation and destruction from wildfires, the stage will still be set for this year's GRAMMY Awards on Sunday, February 2, 2025. However, many pre-GRAMMY events were canceled, with associated costs redistributed to fire relief efforts. 

The GRAMMY Awards will utilize its platform for good to raise money for fire relief efforts during its award broadcast. It will also honor heroic First Responders, and highlight the resiliency of the Los Angeles community. The power of music can be a respite during the darkest hours, which is why the show will go on.
